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.

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.
