Apologies to everyone affected.
I've been buried in the Library studying for exams with the phone
off so I was oblivious until I went out to eat last night and noted several
E-mails. I immediately changed my password but another fusillade of electronic
mischief went out this morning around 08:00. AOL tech support is closed for the
holiday so I'm unsure if the issue is resolved. I have shut down all external
permissions.
I was surprised that I HAD permissions enabled for other sites to access
my account.
One was Facebook (which I’ve been banned from for two years) and the
other was some sketchy thing that was an E-Mail addy for a "uis.coveritliveâ€. I
have NO idea what that was but it’s blocked.
I note I’m not the only AOL user this has happened to in the last few
days. This is the second time this has happened to me and I don’t think it was
a PEBKAC error (unlike the last time where I accessed the AOL account from the
school computer system).
SO…
Does anyone have any suggestions
for alternatives that aren't GOOGLE?
