Has AT&T Yahoo! Gone Black Hat?

by Dean Shainin

I'm wondering if there is a way to see how this is happening.

Here's what's going on...

Within my AT&T Yahoo! account after checking an email and I hit Mark, the marked button re-directs to a Parent Resource Center and looking at the bottom of the ad, it looks like Phillip Morris.

It does not happen every time but about 7 times within the last few days.

Is someone inside my account or something?

I'm a non-tech guy so it's a mystery to me.

Thanks for any input.

    Dean,

    What exactly do you mean when you say you 'hit the mark button'? The mark button provides you with a drop down box which allows you to choose from several options.

    I tried just clicking on the mark button and nothing happened. I also used all of the options and couldn't get the action you mentioned.

    However, AT&T made some changes to overall email in the past few days. And I did find that some of my settings are different or no longer available. Check your setting under personal email preferences to see if everything is the same.

      Yes, that's the button I'm talking about. It usually drops down and gives you options but have been noticing it re-directs to that ad.

      O.K. Maybe it's related to the changes or something.

      I just realized I should run Ad-Adware to see if anything in running in the background for now.

      Thanks for your input...
