Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Apologies to the list.

Yes, my Yahoo! email account appears to have been compromised.

Whatever the cause, my Contacts in my Yahoo! email account appear to have been deleted as a result - it even tried to unsubscribe me from this list.

Fortunately this account is used primarily for online subscriptions, such as this maiingl list, and other music tech forums. Needless to say I'm in the process of performing some housekeeping.

In regards to AN1x-list, there appears to have been no negative impact aside from this unfortunate email.

For those interested, I found this recent article on the subject:

http://dagblog.com/humor-satire/who-hijacked-yahoo-mail-3151

and my search turned up a few other hits from users also affected on this same date.

A past acquaintance of mine suffered the same issue many months ago, clearly Yahoo! is not on top of the situation.

Again, my apologies to the list for the inconvenience.

Regards,

Jon
