Mail settings changed?
« on: June 27, 2017, 09:00:28 AM »
I can no longer access the webmaster@autopuzzles.com email. 

I can't access the godaddy account to find out what's happened.

Anyone know anything?

I received the following email from GoDaddy overnight:

QUOTE
Action needed for your email account.

Your password needs to be updated as soon as possible. Read the full details below.


Dear Norman Hawkes,

GoDaddy understands that email is a vital part of business today and we take our commitment to customer security seriously. We have reason to believe that your email account webmaster@autopuzzles.com may have been compromised.

For your protection, and the protection of others, we have suspended the ability for this address to send mail through third-party clients such as Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.

What's the next step?

As soon as possible, please update your password using these instructions (more info). We encourage you to use a strong password and to change your previous password (or any variations) anywhere else you may have used it.

Once your password has been updated, we will lift the suspension and the email account will be able to send mail through third party clients again.

Please keep in mind that this email account can still send and receive messages through web-based email, provided the storage quota has not been exceeded.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Please feel free to contact us if you need help or have questions.

I did as they asked and changed the Password for the email, not realising that anybody actually used it!  Sorry.

I'll email you the new password and hopefully that will enable you to access it again.

Norman

I wonder if it was part of the big cyber attack that's hit the world.
Bit of a coincidence if it wasn't...

We've clearly been earmarked by specialist hackers as a potential source of multiple bitcoins. Such is our collective reputation. Playboys of the western world. Fame at last - a spread in Hello! beckons.
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia
