I clicked on links in email from Yahoo hacked account(s).  Now what?

I received email from three different people with Yahoo accounts and with several of them I clicked on the links in those emails.  I was tired and off-guard and trusted them since I thought they were from my friends, people I knew.  I verified they did not send them to me and I have no idea what mailicious code I may now have on my Apple computer from clicking on those links contained in the email I received.  Now what do I do?  I don't have a Yahoo account.  I am wondering if I should change my email address but should I rebuild my Mail or other preventive measures to my MacBook Pro?

Quite likely the link would have taken you to a spoofed Mail delivery site which would have had a malicious attachment which you would be asked to print, etc. This would have had no effect on your iPad even if you had clicked on it. In your case, it looks like the host site had already removed the spoofed web page.

    Barney,
    I have four groups.
    I just typed the name of one of those groups in the To field on the iPhone's email, and received:
    Invalid Address
    "<group name>" does not appear to be a valid email address.  Do you want to send it anyway?
    I clicked continue and it remains in my outbox.
    Help is appreciated.
    Thanks,

  • My iCloud account on my iPhone is not verified and I have not received an email to verify my account.  Now what?

    I installed the most current operating system on my iPhone today so I can use iCloud.  Unfortunately, I can't use iCloud because in settings under iCloud, I receive a message that my email address can't be verified.  Themessage also a message in settings that says to check my email for instructions to verify.  I have checked all of me email folders for the email. I am using the email account associated with my apple ID.  Does anyone know what to do? My email address is a yahoo address if this is relevant. thanks!

    On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link.  If you are doing it on an iOS device (iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch) then try tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (Settings > Store on iOS 5 and below) and selecting 'View Apple ID' on the popup - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.
    Changing payment info : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1918
    If you've received an email then if it's not personalised (e.g. 'dear client' or 'customer'), is in poor English, and has a 'verify now' or similar link in it's a phishing attempt to try and get your iTunes account and payment info - in which case you could forward it to Apple :

  • My popups won't work. Ex....I can't print an email from Yahoo. Popup blocker is turned off

    I just got a pc with windows 8 and I can't use firefox as I can't print emails from yahoo for example....i am assuming that's a popup window that isn't working, but i have pop ups enabled.

    Usually Firefox's built-in popup blocker won't block a window if you clicked a link or button to open it. It is designed to block windows that open without you taking a specific action.
    One possibility is that the link/button is in a part of the page that is "blocked" by an invisible element. Another possibility is that the script that opens the window is not running correctly.
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • I can't always click on links in email to get to Firefox.

    Firefox suddenly doesn't respond when I click on links in emails. The problem is sporadic, as sometimes it works fines. Sometimes I can solve it by double-clicking, sometimes not. Sometimes I can fix it temporarily by closing and restarting Firefox, but the fix only lasts a short time and I'm back to square one. I'm using Firefox 32.0 on a Mac using OS10.6.8.
    I already tried making another browser my default browser, then switching back. Please advise. Thanks!

    Do you only get this problem when Firefox isn't running or also when Firefox isn't running?
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

    in Keychain find the menu item for Keychain list.
    1. If your flash drive Keychain is shown, click on the check box next to it.
    2. If it is not shown, click on the + sign at the bottom of the window.
    Locate your desired Keychain and click ADD.
    Go to step 1.
    Another way is to rename the flash drive Keychain to Old_Login and copy it to your
    ~/Library/Keychain/ folder and go to step 1.

  • When clicking on link in email, new tab NOT being created, but new window on existing tab - I want NEW TAB for each link clicked on...

    Up until today, whenever I clicked on link in email, a NEW TAB would be created. Now, when I click on link, a new WINDOW on existing tab is created - I WANT A NEW TAB, not a window...

    Hmmm, which mail site is this?
    One possibility is that you had a tab-related extension that automatically opened regular links in a new tab, and that the extension was disabled because it was incompatible with the latest version. To check for disabled add-ons, visit the Tools > Add-ons dialog.
    As a short term workaround: you probably know you can force a link to open in a new tab by holding Ctrl when you click the link, or by using the "middle" mouse button (often the scroll wheel). I find that quicker than right-clicking the link and choosing Open in new tab.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • Why has mail 5.2 stopped retrieving email from yahoo (IMAP)?

  • I receive emails from an exchange account and from Yahoo the exchange acoount emails stay on my ipad ok but the BTyahoo ones disapear after about 1 hour. Can someone advise on how to stop yhis happening.

    I am having problems with my ipad. I receive emails from 2 seperate accounts one exchange account and the other from BTyahoo.
    The exchange account emails stay on the ipad but the btyahoo ones disapear after about 1 hour can anyone help.

    To follow-up with this issue:
    I ended up performing a security wipe on my device. The security wipe finished, and I was about to reconnect with Exchange when I decided to visit our host's web site to see if they had any articles covering the issues I was experiencing. While they didn't have anything specific, I did find a step-by-step guide to connecting a BB10 device to Exchange... and right there at the end, it said "Do NOT enable memo sync."
    I contacted support, and the rep told me that OS 10 has an issue with memo sync and it can cause all sorts of unpredictable behavior. Now, whether or not this is accurate I can say this: So far, the device is not disconnecting and reconnecting like it was before. Problem is, is this a result of not enabling memo sync, or is this a result of the security wipe?
    I may have overlooked it, but I don't recall reading anything about that anywhere else. I'm tempted to try re-enabling the memo sync to see if everything blows up again. At least that way I can see for myself if the memo sync is a real issue. Of course, perhaps it's an issue with SherWeb (our host) specifically. Hm...
    Anyway, for those that were interested, and for those that may come along in the future with a similar situation, the strange behavior that I first reported is no longer happening. I just don't know if it was a result of a security wipe or a result of not enabling memo sync with Exchange.

  • TS3899 cannot receive or send email from my hotmail account, refuses to verify server. I have changed my password, deleted the account numerous times, any solutions? all on ios 6.

    cannot receive or send email from my hotmail account, refuses to verify server. I have changed my password, deleted the account numerous times, any solutions? all on ios 6. it was working up until a few days ago and now refuses to load on both my ipad 2 and iphone 4S
    in the process deleted all my contact, very annoying.
    all help is much appreciated.
    interesting that my gmail account does work perfectly.

    this may or may not help - but give it a try.  On a forum some were reporting that talk21 is now under the yahoo umbrella.  below are the steps this use listed.  (This was an android forum, but the email settings should be the same.  In short it looks like their server names have changed.  An existing account may have simply been forwarded - but if you are reinstalling, it may want a clean install to the right servers.)  Pay particular attention to the server names and port settings.  (this thread was started based on a discussion of Imap vs pop - you are already an Imap person - so ignore that part)
    See if this helps.
    why settle for pop3, when IMAP works with talk21 and not only does mail get pushed out faster with IMAP, but when you click refresh it will be received faster than pop3.  The other advantage is subfolders are also supported with IMAP but cant be seen with POP3. This mail feature works with my android eclair & hero phone and the settings are exactly the same for win mobiles also (not tested). The mail setting up roadmap is the same from what i can remember once in the mail feature for win mobi. 
    This is what you need to do to setup Talk21 email with IMAP. 
    Incoming server settings
    IMAP server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
    Port - 143
    Security type - none 
    Outgoing Server settings
    SMTP server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    Port - 25
    Security type - none Also important note - Enable 'require sign-in'
    and enter your talk21 username and password The End...works a treat for me p.s. Its only taken me 3 years to work it out with win mobile and recently with android. Finally got it to work...hope this helps all the talk21 users out there. if there are any other similar posts out there with no answer...dont forget to mention my name when passing this post around.
