CARE CODE: 205.2 [LU003]

@Lollymiss   Thanks for checking and reporting your results.  Actually, given that Yahoo has had major data breaches over the last 5-6 yrs, exposing the info for 3 BILLION accounts, I'm shocked that there are any accounts not listed on that website.

Just curious, for the one that shows up as "pwned" are any of the sources Yahoo or are they from other sites?

@tonydi you're welcome. I am not sure what you mean ..

"Just curious, for the one that shows up as "pwned" are any of the sources Yahoo or are they from other sites?"

The email that showed as "pwned" is my sbcglobal.net account, Does that help answer your question?

Sorry, I meant that in the bottom section of that page it shows you in which of the various breaches that sbc email account was discovered.  For instance, my wife's Yahoo account was in a lot of data breaches....

But none of these were direct breaches of Yahoo.  I was just curious to see if there's any correlation to this problem.

@tonydi and @Lollymiss   My problem email (bellsouth.net) has been reported by pwned numerous times in the past few years, so I kind of expect some issues. In my case the  problem email was recently reported on the dark web by another security monitor I use, maybe several months ago. This is when my problem started. No difference in brand of browser, still happens about once every 8 days.

My other email accounts have not shown up on pwned yet and no problems with web mail.

I primarily use Thunderbird (POP) on one pc and Thunderbird (IMAP) on another and no problems.

This problem is just a small bump in the road for me. If the reason for problem is sound, then I suspect it will go away after a period of time when the hacker moves the bots to other low hanging fruit.

I suggest any one with this problem change the password to a very complex set. Don't forget to add the passcode to your ATT account if you haven't done so.

@tonydi   I think your correlation is correct, surprised no one else picked up on it earlier.

Happy Trails.

@gary419  Just curious as to the name of the other security monitor.  Sounds like it gives different results from HIBP.

@tonydi @gary419 

Oohhh.. I gotcha, and I didn't see what the sources were.

I don't even know what Thunderbird is... sounds waaaay too tech savvy for me!

I just want the silly problem fixed!

@tonydi I try not to speak to personally about security issue's. (my Fobia) but several examples. 

One would be FireFox Monitor.

The others: remember all the breaches we've seen and the subsequent monitoring features available to you if you just followed up. Those will come to play some times.

Thunderbird is an email client (program) that runs on your computer and fetches and sends emails.  I'm sure you've heard of Outlook, same sort of client.

@tonydi I have heard of Outlook, but never understood the purpose.. seems like another hurdle to jump

Heh, yeah, to me it's mostly about whether I want to have control over my email, that I know it's stored on my computer and available no matter what happens at Yahoo (because nothing ever goes wrong there!) or if I trust a third party to keep them safe and available.
