Unhappy Yahoo account issue
Hey guys,

I get spam once in a while in my yahoo account, not to often, but when I get mail from my own address it's just awfull. I must say that I don't open mail from public pc's and I think my rigs are virus/trojan's free. I am not sure the mail was sent using my address since I am changing my pass regularly. Now I have taken some screenies for you guys to see how it looks like, any advice is great, thanks !

Chris

Email addresses can be spoofed easily enough - it's usually just a matter of specifying a different user/email address when sending the email.

Hence, the source address is faked, and the email originated somewhere in Korea.

Thanks, I was afraid somehow it gained access to my yahoo account. (which is not that important to me but still...)
