[AlpacaTalk] RE: Grouply
I got an invitation to join grouply on another yahoo list I am on.
There was a discussion about it and I am afraid I do not remember the
particulars except that it was something awful that shut down a few
folks computers and caused some major problems. It does some sort of
automatic phishing when you hit reply. It also apparently steals your
address book and sends out invites in mass mailings that appear to have
come from you. So the person that appears to be sending the invite can
be totally innocent, not involved at all, and not know that invites are
going out in their name. apparently it is a cancer that is spreading
thru the yahoo community thru members address books. I got my
invitation from my other yahoo group several weeks ago. I did not get
one thru this list. So it must not go out to the whole list, maybe only
to individuals in a person's address book. It sounds like it is also
set up to go into blogs, perhaps that are listed in a person's address
book. I am totally computer illiterate, so have no idea. But the
thought of my personal posts to a yahoo list being made public gives me
the creeps......
available only to members of that particular list?
