Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / November 2005PING: Sherry
Could you contact me, please? I'm wondering if your AOL account has been hacked or something? The usual e-mail addies are still valid. Thanks, Yowie > Could you contact me, please? > > I'm wondering if your AOL account has been hacked or something? Why would you think her AOL address has been hacked?! Is there a lot of that going around these days??! >> Could you contact me, please? >> >> I'm wondering if your AOL account has been hacked or something? > > Why would you think her AOL address has been hacked?! Is there a lot > of that going around these days??! I got an unexpected and seemingly out-of-character message from her AOL address. Two other people I know who use AOL have been hacked (or spoofed, or hijacked or whatever you want to call other people sending unsolicited e-mail from your address) within the last month, and I needed confirmation that she herself did indeed send the e-mail and that the content was genuine. Sherry did contact me later and understood my concern about the message I received. Its all be sorted out now. Thanks, Sherry Yowie Good, I IMed her last night, but she didn't answer.

I thought it had gone out of fashion because of how vulnerable it makes your PC to viruses, trojans, worms and etc. I guess they must have fixed that. > >> Could you contact me, please? > >> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Sherry did contact me later and understood my concern about the message I > received.

Most of my family are on AOL, so I was worried. >> I got an unexpected and seemingly out-of-character message from her >> AOL address.

Anyone can send email that appears to be from any account. I could easily send an email that appeared to be from someone else, and a naive user wouldn't know the difference. It doesn't mean that their account has been hacked, though, and there's nothing they can do about it. If you send an email *to* that address, on the other hand, it should go to its intended recipient unless someone else has the password.
