#Aol address book server password
If this happens to you, change your password immediately, and be as cryptic as possible use a mix of letters and numbers. It has mostly been AOL, with Hotmail and Yahoo accounts getting hacked occasionally. Google apparently has been doing a much better job of keeping the hackers out than its competitors. I have not seen this at all with our customers with G-mail accounts, but that’s not to say it hasn’t happened. If your Hotmail, AOL, Yahoo, Gmail, Optimum, or any other web-based e-mail account gets compromised, and the perpetrator does more than just copy your contacts list for spamming purposes then you may log in one day to find all of your contacts and/or e-mail messages gone. This is a wake-up call to all of us who use web-based e-mail and just blithely assume all of our e-mail messages and contacts are safe from loss. You will have to start from scratch and “re-build” your address book yourself, and that can be quite a task. That is really salt in your wounds if it goes that far, and there is next to nothing you can do to recover the address book unless you have planned ahead and regularly saved a copy of it to your computer. While I haven’t seen it often, the hacker/spammer will sometimes then delete all of your contacts from your AOL address book. This can be very disturbing, not to mention embarrassing. It seems that a good number of our customers who have an AOL e-mail address have had the misfortune of having their e-mail accounts hacked by spammers who then pilfer their address book to send out all kinds of junk e-mail to their friends and business contacts.
