Decoy:
Tell you what, not scold anyone, but if a download looks too good to be true, free, etc. Don't touch it. Yeah, the bots can't do yahoo anymore with the text scrambler thingy, but there are bots contantly scanning and searching for email addresses to take advantage of. Froupie, I think I'd call what you have going on bordering on identity theft - if they are into your credit cards? Shit. Get a firewall, its worth the investment, And don't download any kind of executable program whatsoever.

sorry i've been away all yesterday. theo: i was just kidding around. the first line was a "hello and goodbye" to you, as you had just posted and said you were leaving. the following line was mostly a joke, although the undercurrent was that cerebral humor might gather more respect than slapstick.

i'll check that account now, froupie, to see if it made it through.

is the Spirit programmed to piss on the Beagle2 do you suppose? perhaps it'll wander over to it and take a tinkle on it.

maybe ol' spirit can just go over and tip beagle 2 up so that its antennae start working. and then they can travel mars together, and it can be a "made for tv" movie called "the martian adventures of spirit and beagle".

Froupie:
i don't know how they did it decoy, i never download stuff. but they hijacked my ebay account (which is why i canceled one credit card), then paypal, and then yahoo. i always thought yahoo was secure too but apparently not as somebody went in and changed my personal info and set my divert to their email address (an aol one) which i didnt notice at first, but i got suspicious when i didnt recieve any confirmation emails from ebay and paypal after i changed passwords, obviously they were going straight to the hijacker, my ebay acct is now suspended and im awaiting a response from yahoo and aol who i complained to. i guess the bastard didnt expect me to discover the hacking so quick, i can only imagine its some kind of identity fraud. they had all this crap for sale on my ebay acct for thousands of dollars, it was crazy.

Myk Murphy:
well, it sounds like you have the situation under control, froupie. it certainly looks like you've tracked their path from hijacked yahoo, to hijacked ebay and then of course paypal.

the question remains: how did they get in at first? if you use web cafes for yahoo and/or ebay at all, there's your first red flag. keystroke logging is not uncommon at semi-public locations. if you don't, and assuming that you don't use really easy passwords for your accounts, then you may have spyware at home. like decoy said... install absolutely nothing, even if it appears to be from a trusted source, and no longer install shareware/freeware, as its bills are often paid through adware or spyware.

my identy was once stole. I had paid for gas with my via money card, and within an hour, someone in NYC had purchased a tool at Home Depot with my card. they later tried to buy over $1k worth of stuff on it at the same Home Depot, but were refused. my bank called me and asked if I had been in NYC that day, I said no.
