This is a Warning going out to ANYONE with a Yahoo Account or otherwise, I am not sure if it has affected any other accounts it seems to be majority Yahoo Instant Messengers.
There is a Hacking going around that will message you or your friends with such things as this:
"shadow_dragoness: i just took an IQ test here.. pretty cool
Friend: O_o
shadow_dragoness: got a 113 lol... I thought I was smarter than that
Friend: I don't want it
shadow_dragoness: you should see if you can do better than me... [Will not Link the Link] if u can ill give you twenty dollars lol
Friend: Hacker.
shadow_dragoness: im not hacked!
Friend: I know that trick
shadow_dragoness: try beating me... I bet you cant haha
Friend: My friend took it and he was hacked.
shadow_dragoness: take it now while i take a shower lol
Friend: I'm not taking it
shadow_dragoness: ill be back in a few after im all fresh
Friend: Don't care.
shadow_dragoness: brb, let me know your score when im back!"
THAT WAS NOT ME! And I have never taken this IQ Test that was mentioned, I changed my password and I hope that has resolved the issue. But that was NOT ME in any stretch of the Imagination.
If you get a message like this from ME on any of my other IMs (MSN or AIM) LET ME KNOW IMMEDIATELY! I advise anyone WITH an Yahoo account to change their passwords IMMEDIATELY! Because this just happened today, while I was offline playing World of Warcraft around 4:50pm.
It's actually a bot, not a
You on the other hand may want to run a program like malware bytes or spybot search and destroy as these programs are often keyloggers which means even if you change your password, they'll just get the new one when you type it in.
Trust me when I say I am
The problem I have is that I RARELY if ever click any malicious looking links from anyone. And I have not done so within the past day or even month O-o which is why it's weird that it would happen to me.
