Wasnt sure where to post this so I apologise if this is not the right place.
Basically every so often my Yahoo mail account gets hacked and everyone on my contacts list gets sent wierd spam type mail. I very rarely use my E-mail and this time it seems to have followed me trying to do something with Flikr on my laptop which I seem to remember has the same log in via Yahoo.
The devices I use are an Ipad2 and a laptop. I dont have my yahoo account continually open. I just log in every so often normally through the browser ( chrome on laptop )
My guess is it is something to do with using my laptop which I seem to remember using at similar times that I have got hacked.
The laptop has AVG free on it and some sort of free spyware software. I have ran a scan but nothing has come up.
Can anyone point me in the right direction here chaps? So far it is just my Email but I am obviously a little concerned about other accounts.
Thanks
Lee
