Email Hacked

Hi everybody,

I wonder if Ady can get in touch - I composed a long and detailed message about what happened re. my account and at the end I couldn't send it directly because it failed authentication for ticket mismatch.

In a nutshell, somebody recently hacked into my email, sent a simple message purporting to be from me to more than a hundred contacts. Those that replied were asked for money and some contactees were provided with a different talktalk email address to send the money to !

Luckily, I was not locked out and managed to change my password and have taken other steps to secure the account etc. but I need to report the details to talktalk for the good of everyone !
