re: "well that splains a lot and IT affected my paypal account as well........"

It might explain my sister's yahoo hack too. Her friends all received e-mails from her asking for money. When I called her about it, I advised her to change her password and then talked her through how to do it. She's not terribly savvy when it comes to technology. Then she called to say she was no longer receiving ANY e-mail. I tested the account and, sure enough, nothing. It turned out that the hacker turned on forwarding so that all e-mails from her friends were being redirected to an account with the same name at hotmail. Quite a scam.

I had my sister switch to gmail. It was time to change anyway. Nobody should ever stay with the same e-mail provider for more than two years. That's more personal information than company should have in its possession. Some providers you might want to consider include myway.com, ieee.com, zoho.com (which encrypts) and even gmail.com as long as you remember that you're sleeping with the devil and don't stay there for too long.
