trust me, i'm very careful, and do use throw-away e-mail accounts for dodgy needs.

ran all the a/v, s/w stuff after the fact, and the pc was clean.

i really don't know how they did it, but apparently there were many others

here is one posting about it: Somehow an email address www.swj0.health24x.com was sent from my email

i'll look at malwarebytes on general principle (uh-oh, here we go again with military ranks, lol!)

thanx

Ohhh that is quite easy, all I have to do is know your email address and use it instead of my own as my return email address and I am sending emails as you! That is how spammers do things, they buy TONS of live email addresses and then rotate thru them as they get caught. Hey YOU entered your own email address in your email programs return address line, why did you put your REAL one in there, you COULD have put in a fake one, but of course then no one would be able to reply to you.

problem was, they got access to my e-mail address book, and actually sent their spam from my e-mail address. wasn't spoofed.

My son had to change his e-mail password a few days ago because someone in China hacked is GMail account.

Seen this one?

still not certain how they got me, i don't click on links in e-mails, especially from strangers, or something that is very vague from someone i know...

yahoo's security levels apparently are not as good as gmail.
my friend lost her account to hackers and she does not visit websites like i do.
it got taken over to the point that they could not recover it and had to delete it entirely.

interesting that gmail got hacked. i might add a special character to the password to add a bit more difficulty.

mine was a M$ hotmail account.

yeah that is weird.
havent had any hotmail spam.
just yahoo spam.

just finished booking my seats on the flying tube of a 777.
then get sardined into a 757 for the last 5hrs to Seattle arriving at 8pm local time. TSO concert is the next day, got to get the S/O to let me book those tickets before its sold out. I can chase them to Portland if needed as well, though that is 3hrs drive time.

problem was, they got access to my e-mail address book, and actually sent their spam from my e-mail address. wasn't spoofed.

I can send email using your email address if I knew it, like I said before I just have to put it in as my return address. Now actually using your account would require me to know the password, but I can put anything in the return address line and if I put in your address, all the mail I sent would look like it came from you. And yes your ISP would then blame you for spamming everything, even though you would have no idea what was going on. I just use my own outgoing account but put your name as the return address, and if I got a free Yahoo or Gmail account as the outgoing, it becomes disposable since they give them out free to anyone and everyone.

or.......you could get tickets to BOTH the seattle AND portland concerts...

you got some interest free golden krill to loan?
can't afford dual tickets to dual concerts, besides same band/crew on that tour.
they run seattle portland spokane and i forgot where they go from there.
they should be in vancouver bc before they come to seattle. normal pacific northwest tour schedule is straight down i-5 to portland from vancouver bc and then go further south or head east.

does D like to attend these concerts with you, or do you fly solo?

i go to Sex Pistols and Laurie Anderson by myself, M doesn't care too much for them...

Well this one she might like for some of the songs.
The others with the more metal sound she might not care for.
She's more love rock and mellow top 40 stuff.
I grove with the youngest nephew with metal and also go off on the indie stuff.
British bands like The Editors, The Ting Tings, The Verve and others are in my liking. Classic Pink Floyd also is good and others.

We don't do much concerts since my income fluctuates so much. There are some good ones that pass through the venue in Antwerp, but I either don't have the time or money.

Yeah my wife and kids like to go see TSO when it is near DC usually around Christmas.

i dunno, went to goo-tube to look at tso, and not certain i get "it"...

It is kind of like rap, you either like it or hate it.

TSO is here (Europe) next year as well promoting the "old" album that has been so hot in the states. But I have to go up to Amsterdam for that. So don't know if s/o will want to go or not. Depends on this one.

did the goo-tube thing also for the ting tings... they seem ok... but, wikipedia notes:

The name endeared them to Asian music fans, and the group has experienced much success in Japan, where their name can mean "small, cute pe^i$" (wikt:ちんちん).[9]

Yeah well, not everything translates perfectly into Japanese.
Was looking at the other xmas music group, Manheim Steamroller. But they aren't playing west coast. They only come as far as Colorado. It's a shame Chip doesn't let the two bands go out farther. On the other hand, this splitting of tour into two groups leaves me wondering which group gets the original members. It's nice they split the show so that everyone gets it, but I would like to see the original group.
