Hi There
Hope you can help me with the following as I am a bit concerned.
When I logged onto my computer this evening (I am AOL by the way) it would not let me sign in until I had answered some security questions and changed my password, once I had done this I recieved an email from Aol to say that somebody had used one of my secondary screen names today at 12.49 pm to try and send unsolicited bulk email. Aol had stopped this happening and secured my account. When I telephoned them and told them nobody could possibly be using my computer at this time from home, they infromed me that it did not have to be from my computer, but that somebody had been able to get hold of my information and use my email address.
I have on their advice changed all my passwords and have deleted that particular screen name as I have not used it for a very long time.
They have assured me that they could not get any importent information such as credit card details, but I am very worried. Is there anything I can do to prevent this happening in the future.
Any help would be appricated.
Sue
