Apparently a person in Russia (per note from Facebook) got a list of
contacts from my computer -- but the emails sent to some of you were not
from my account but were spoofed (I recall this happening to some other
Tapcis folks in the past). If experience is a guide, it was a "one off"

Sorry bout that

Dave

Further info: It was not my computer which was directy accessed, but a
flaw in the Yahoo mal system it seems ... but it is unlikely to recur.
The IP was seemingly located in Mexico, but most likely it was a Russian or
Korean attack on Yahoo which is the culprit.

If any of you use Yahoo as your email provider - please be aware that the
spammer has no interest in anything other than either harming Yahoo or in
selling ads of some sort, it seems. And be sure to run a malware check, of
course.
