Hi list people, Early this morning some ne'er-do-well hacked into one of our list member's email address book and used the member's computer to broadcast a message that went to a bunch of people and to the UA list. It appears the message contained a link to a site in Germany (as evidenced by the ".de" in the URL). I've no idea where that site went to as I did not click on it. Fortunately since the message bore no subject and was addressed to so many addresses the list software flagged the post as suspicious so it never got posted to the list itself. I alerted the list member to the situation and he responded asking what he should do now. Since this has now happened to at least two folks on UA I thought I'd post about the situation here and ask those more computer-literate than I: 1) How does one keep one's address book from being hacked in the first place? and 2) What should one do after such a hack occurs? Also 3) On Macs one can safely see what's in an email without actually opening it by making a text-only copy (Apple key-Shift-S). How does one do the same thing with a Windows machine? Ideas? Thanks, patrick
