<div dir="ltr">One great way to avoid your account getting hijacked is to use an e-mail system that requires 3 factor authentication for any login from a previously unregistered device/IP address. Usually the 3rd factor is a 6 digit verification code texted to your cell phone after you've provided the first 2 factors (username and password). If your personal e-mail provider does NOT provide such security, they should. GMail does, as do a number of others. If your provider doesn't provide 3rd factor auth, you should consider switching your personal e-mail to something more secure.<div>

*sigh*<br>

Yet another compromised e-mail account spewing (obfuscated) trojan<br>
bearing URLs. My apologies folks, the list scans for known viruses<br>
before admitting messages, but posts like this are coming from<br>
legitimate list subscriber accounts (albeit hijacked) and are not<br>
viruses themselves. Shy of moderating each message, which I don't want<br>
to do, I'm not sure how to handle these. I'll be giving it some thought<br>
and Googling though - again, my apologies.<br>
<br>
I will start moderating the accounts that get compromised, but that only<br>
prevents a second occurrence instead of the first.<br>
<br>
Richard, let me know once you've regained control of your sbcglobal<br>
account and I'll unmoderate you.<br>
