A super important update to a problem affecting all of our groups periodically. Another moderator in our JohnMuirTrail group which I'm the lead moderator for, gave me this link and it gives the best explanation of how a yahoo email account gets hacked and that even 2-step verification will not protect a yahoo email account. It says that as of the end of January Yahoo is now aware of the root cause and hopefully will fix it, but the article says what to do now. Big hat tip to Kim Fishburn for this link. http://www.livescience.com/26805-yahoo-mail-hijacks.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Livesciencecom+%28LiveScience.com+Science+Headline+Feed%29&utm_content=My+Yahoo The tiny link for the above is this: *http://tinyurl.com/d4kvauv* I plan on adding this to our group's document which is attached, which gave all the research advice known before the above link. Still valid for non-Yahoo accounts and 2-step verification is still highly recommended even for Yahoo accounts too. ------------------------------------------------- Visit my Google Profile (lots of very interesting research links)<https://profiles.google.com/104440166440169700478/about> _
