Off lately I am noticing Spam or junk mails sent by someone from my registered yahoo group member list to others. The links mentioned therein are junk and it is very clear that my known friends won’t be sending out such mails. I get a feel that somehow spams are being sent from someone’s yahoo id to such groups.

e.g. I login to my yahoo mail and find that my known friend say ABC has sent out a mail to a number of users including the yahoo group to which we have subscribed. There’s nothing in that mail except some useless links that are also broken. Some of my old email ids which are no longer active are also there in the To list!

Has anyone got similar mails?
