WTF?

[digitaldiscipline]

Mid-conversation on Y!M, I get punted off, with a notification that it says I may have logged on from another computer.  Subsequent login attempts to both Y!M and Yahoo Mail fail, even when I correctly key in the visual challenge text.

What. The. Fuck??!?!?!?

Did you use either anyplace other than home or work in the past two weeks?

(For the record, I don't see you on Y!IM under the nick I know about...)

I don't/can't do Y!M at the office, but I do check my email there. I did log into it while on the boat due to the mpeace hunting thing. *shrug*

OK, you're the 3rd person today to say something weird is up with Yahoo! -- one said his brother got a spurious message from him while he (the "sender) was asleep, while another who couldn't access their Yahoo! mail.

Someone out on the boat is hacking your ID. Bastards. They've probably got a fruity drink in their paws, too.

Well, I can't log into any of my yahoo services (YM, mail, or just the 'my yahoo' web page). It would be trivial to get a new one, other than the fact that [unspecified PITA agency or two] has it as my contact address, and they're royal fucks to implement changes with.

if I can get in, dump my stuff, and scavenge my contact list, I'll happily blow it away and start anew. it's basically been a spambucket for online shopping endeavors (including my lj), but it pisses me off that my main IM client is fux0red at the moment.

that'd be grand.

i'll be right over to skin your dark lord for slippers. :-p

He's innocent! I can see him napping right now!

>:-P

we're doing trivia after dinner, if y'all want to come over and make people look bad for your anniversary. (it was boys 6, girls 3 last night; post-TBBC and a whole lotta moose getting killed).

I am still seriously ill. My chest feels like it's been bombed. I'm awaiting Anniversary pizza and then its off to bed.

Damned plague.

If others have also been having troubles with authentication on Yahoo systems, then it will probably just go away on its own. The thing I was most worried about (that the account was now 0wnd by some random cruiser) doesn't seem as likely.

[etcet.livejournal.com]

likewise.

Did you happen to get my snail-mail address before everything went *poof* or do I need to re-send elsewhere?

[etcet.livejournal.com]

got it, and will be dropping your stuff in the mail this PM, after taking M&A to the airport. no worries.

well, not about that. . . my yahoo account is still completely fux0red
