Folks - My email used for nefarious purposes

Unread post by Coyote » Fri Aug 14, 2015 5:54 pm

I understand several of you received an email reportedly from me. I have several email accounts - most on yahoo side. The Gmail email account I have not used since 2014 and password is over 10 characters long includes numbers, w letters in CAPS and non caps and is not a word but randomly generated characters. Virtually impossible to crack

Looks like a server was hacked in japan and my email address was used as a disguised address

mcayouette@rdcl-opti.co.jp

I have never visited this site - rdcl-opti.co.jp/

It could have been a spider going through websites - i.e. FunFly advertising had my email in plain sight with mcayouette

I apologies for any inconvenience

One more reason not to advertise your own address during a Fun Fly ;-)

PS: I'll also change password on my GMAIl and yahoo accounts
