dlvdisc Security alert - Beware of URLS with yepyep

[External Poster]

Last night we received an unusual amount of mail to various DLV and
Pinkfest associated accounts from DLVers, many with very familiar names,
which shows that a number of you have e-mail accounts, mostly within the
yahoo.com domain, which have been compromised.

Within the past 12 hours or so this seems to be almost a chain reaction.

Spam is being sent from the compromised accounts, containing a url with
the letters "yepyep" toward the end.

If you receive a message with such a URL, even from someone you know and
regularly correspond with, do not click it! Delete it! Many of these
bogus messages have a blank subject and a short message containing the
URL.

For those who got a security alert from us on this, please don't shoot
the messenger. The best thing to do is change your yahoo (or whatever)
password from a known-clean machine and give the machine you usually use
for e-mail a good malware scan.

Thanks, gang!
