My att.net e mail has been hacked and stolen. A Hacker has gotten control of it. The Hacker sent a ridiculous e mail to many of my friends and co workers. The e mail claimed I was broke and locked out of my hotel room in Spain, of all places. I am of course teaching college in San Antonio. 

I called Yahoo and got a message that they have massive call volume. Apparently I am not alone in experience this problem with Yahoo  e mail.The message refers one to help page, of course, which does nothing to fix the problem. 

ATT outsourced their e mail to Yahoo and cannot do anything about it. 

Yahoo turned down a MSFT offer to purchase the company not long ago, it now trades at a much lower price. Yahoo fired its CEO this past week. So lots of problems at Yahoo. 

I have used dennis.elam@att.net for this blog as a link so that will also have to be re-set. 

So for now please use this e mail to reach me

    Remarkable. And the WSJ has an article about Yahoo’s woes today (even mentioning the Microsoft botched deal). Sorry to hear about the email problem. Glad it didn’t affect your school mail.

    Does this mean that our email addresses were affected?
