Ferrari Mailing List: Re: yahoo email security

[Steven Noble (snoble]

It actually applies (this case) to anyone who used yahoo voice whether they 
used a yahoo email address or not. 

I don't have an account so I am not 100% sure how the passwords tied to the 
accounts. 

The way things are going lately you can just use hack announcements as 
reminders that it is time to change your passwords.
