I use Outlook 2000 but I am tied into ATT Yahoo. I believe someone has been using my email account to send "Canada Drug" adds to my contacts. What can I do?

This was happening to me with my hotmail account. I just needed to change the password to something much harder to hack (7 characters including letters [in difference cases], symbols and numbers ).

Give it a try!

Getting an emailed hacked happens all the time. What you can do is like he said above, change your password to something with numbers and letters, and I would also send a mass email apoligizing for the spam... you don't want to burn bridges!

You can also check your outlook settings (http://www.howtowindows.com/popular-guides/outlook-settings/) and make sure you have Secured Link checked. This will help prevent people from "phishing" your website.
