A while ago my yahoo email account started sending spam out of it's own free will. I found out that some idiot out there created a phishing (fake) yahoo sign-in site (apologize to all the tech people if i am not technically accurate in my use of the word "phishing") so the idiot got hold of my password and started spamming everyone on my list.
In case this happens to you, here's what you can do.
1. Put a security seal upon sign-in. When using the same computer, the same seal will always appear so you'll know it's not a fake site.
2. Change your password.
3. Delete your address book. (I did this just to be safe).
Voila. Hope this makes up for the spam!
