Yahoo (in BT) email been hacked today

I am aware that since approx midday Yahoo has been hacked, their phone system has a recorded message asking users to change passwords

Users who have been targeted will loose their ocntacts list (on webmail) and find no incoming mail since then.

More importantly users contacts will be sent emails asking for money as the user is stuck in ie "Rome", please send £500 to resolve - you know the drill.

If you think you may have been compromised, go to www.bt.com/changepassword

    See update - hack is more convoluted than initially realised....hack has created sub-email accounts which one wouldn't necessarily realise.
