    Change your Yahoo password a.s.a.p. Even if your email address was forged/faked/spoofed, well, it's Yahoo......

    Re: BackDoor Intrusion

    If its feasible for you to do, you might consider changing you email address also. If your email address is being forged, it might make it harder for someone to impersonate you (unless they can get your new address).

    python -c 'print hex((1 << (1024/4))-1)[:-1]'

    What about Snappy Convergence and this Security Problem?

    Re: BackDoor Intrusion

    As far as I can tell, this problem had nothing to do with Ubuntu. It sounds like the OP's email account at Yahoo was hijacked. That's rather common these days.
    If you ask for help, do not abandon your request. Please have the courtesy to check for responses and thank the people who helped you.

    Agreed, moved.

    Sam-c, if you would like to talk about Snappy please start a new thread in security rather than changing the subject of this thread.

    Thanks.

    I'm quite sure the OP does not find this a laughing matter. A bit of decorum, please.

    Re: BackDoor Intrusion

    The Reason that I Added Snappy to the Discussion is that to have Convergence From Desktop thru Laptop Tablet down to Small Device to be secure from top to bottom.
    It needs easy to use and effective Security. Do not put all the "Blame" on Yahoo! I liked Marks May 2015 Presentation!
