Anybody having Yahoo mail problems?

[aguy]

I keep getting a message to say they are 'experiencing a temporary problem'.
If I keep trying I can get into my account and have managed to reply to a couple of Emails but keep getting odd messages pop up like 'check your internet connection' or 'unable to send' then all okay again until next time I want to access Yahoo mail and the whole rigmarole starts again.

Yeah - one of my colleagues at work was pulling his hair out in frustration today

Indeed yes this morning was very bad.

Thanks guys, I suspected I'm not the only one although I soon start to get paranoid.

It has been playing up since last night and most of today 1st Sept but just now it's started working okay again so hopefully it's been fixed.

I heard on the news this morning how Yahoo had been hacked, over one billion accounts hacked, email addresses affected but nothing financial. Advised users to change passwords. The hack happened 2 years ago, but was only broadcasted today. FBI are investigating. It is abysmal it has taken so long to alert the public.

I frequently change my passwords and carry out security updates even though all of the devices are Mac. Even Macs are not totally secure, oh happy days

Got an email from Sky yesterday saying I should change my Sky email password as Yahoo are the providers of Sky email, also to change any similar password used on other sites.

Bit of a pain for anyone that uses one password for all logins.

Cheers .
