Quote - Has anyone had problems that their e-mail account associated with e-on/cornucopia has been compromised? Someone has sent e-mails supposedly from my e-mail address to addresses I corresponded with in the past. The e-mail just included a link to some web site (havnt clicked on it - best to be safe).
I have no evidence that this is connected to the dos attacks on e-on, but the coincidence would be a bit much. I only use that e-mail account for CG related sites- renderosity, e-on, daz etc.
I changed my password on that e-mail account, so that hopefully solved my problem.(Which is the only thing the service provider suggested too).
Perhaps you folks should consider changing your password on associated e-mail accounts too just as a precautionary measure.

Woke up to find a blocked gmail account which had been sending out unsual mails even after it was changed.... odd, but possibly unrelated who knows.
