FYI....I use an IPAD & after upgrading to IOS 7, both my gmail & yahoo email accts were hacked & are a mess. I have many missing emails, new mail is going into the trash vs my inbox & other issues. (have not signed into any on-line accts or forums since I upgraded). The apple IOS 7 security exposures have been all over the news. Last wk's patch was supposed to fix the problems but didn't completely. I want to throw my IPAD out the window....

Moderators and members should be aware of recent security dangers in using Yahoo groups. I am a moderator of the following group:
The group received a series of messages this morning from an ID that appears to be a Phishing expedition from an ID that appears to have been hacked.
Steps you should take to protect against the security dangers:
1. I would advise all group moderators to hide their member list to provide protection from hackers. I just did this on the ibmemployeeissuesissues group. It is unfortunate that the moderators did not do this for the ibmemployeeissues group which was hacked and disabled a few weeks ago.
2. I would advise all group members to select the option to hide their email/IP address if they have posted messages using the web interface or plan to.
3. I would advise all Yahoo users to change their password to one that would be very difficult for a hacker to discover.
