Sky / Yahoo email user warning

[EuroTrotters]

If you have not changed your email password within the last 3 years, you may find yourself locked out without warning or reason.

I have Just spent 2 hours on the phone after 1 hour on chat to Sky.

I am currently in Spain, made matters worse.

So, struggling between Orange WiFi, VodaPhone WiFi and O2 3G/4G.

Took an age to resolve and after speaking with 5 different members of Staff, we eventually managed to sort out or 7 Sky emails. We had to reset every one, having to remember numerous old security questions. Endless issues, with sending reset emails to other addresses (my gmail has been causing issues too).

RESET YOUR EMAIL PASSWORD NOW!

On a similar point, if for some reason you are using the same password that you use for EBay as you use for other purposes, like email, you’re at risk of all sorts of phishing emails popping up in your account and threats of lock outs etc. Apparently there was a big loss of email addresses and passwords from EBay a couple of years back and the info is out there waiting for the baddies to have a go. Save yourself grief and change passwords regularly
