Now, before you start going to the site, I should tell you now that that site does not exist. This little sample here is the newest in spamming/spoofing/hacking thing in the web. I don't really know how this is done but I am assuming that it's by opening sites that would ask your emails or some malwares or spywares that actually gets data out of your quaint little computer.

I love going through the internet, browsing sites both wholesome and something else and I ended up encountering this little problem that's given me headache for weeks now. I'm not a beginner/dummy in this cyber tech world but I don't have extensive knowledge about it too, that's why I've only just recently realized that this problem here can be resolved by simply going into your mail options and fixing your vacation response. Then, viola! Problem solved!

So to summarize this again, if you are using a yahoo email address, take these following precautions when you start receiving spam return mails in your inbox or spam folder.

1. Change your password to something harder to solve. Since I have no idea how this thing happened, I am not removing the Hacker idea out of my suspect list. I may have been hacked or not but it doesn't hurt to change your password to be safe.

2. Go to your Yahoo!Mail
-> MAIL OPTIONS -> VACATION RESPONSE
-> UNTICK THE "Enable auto-response during your vacation" BOX
-> SAVE CHANGES

VIOLA! Problem solved! That is until, you get victimized again since I don't really know the source of this thing...
