AlamoPA Mailing List: Hacking problem

[Bob Heiser (w7ikt]

Someone has used my name, part of my email address, and my email signature to ask for money in my name.  I was not sent by me.  I so far have 3 reports.

The email address used was w7iikt [at] gmail.com or w7ikit [at] gmail.com

I do not use gmail, my email address is w7ikt [at] fly-web.us

I assume someone I send emails to was hacked to get my name and email address.  Note: There are hundreds that get emails from me.  I manage reflectors for church, ham radio, EAA, dance groups RV park, and participate in many more.

Carol and I did not get the message, so does not look like the reflector(s) have been compromised.

It is also unlikely that my computer has been compromised.  I do not use Windows.  I run Ubuntu one of the Linux distributions.  The emails were sent when my computer was off.  I will change my email password.

Also the emails were sent from a Yahoo.com address - not a good site for security.
