| 1426246 | 2016-09-20 08:58:00 | Hello All The Xtra/Spark/Yahoo marriage is over... I am sure most of you know all about this. Today I received an announcement by Xtra/Spark asking for permission to move email and contact details over to the new email system provider. Has anyone of you switched already? Any comments about it? |

The Spark email address is manly for the use of their invoice and very few anothers . So not a problem, just wanted to check what others think about it . Thanks |

LL I can see that being a issue many (most) xtra email users have no idea what the password is "I dont have a password" :badpc: Perhaps they need the password to add the user passwords to the new email servers . |

| 1426251 | 2016-09-21 23:32:00 | I would question the reason for that because the password should not be needed at all. In fact them asking for permission sounds suspect considering they own the emails. There was no permission needed when they moved to msn or yahoo, so what gives now? This might be a sophisticated phishing attack making use of yahoo!s troubling situation. |

| 1426252 | 2016-09-22 00:25:00 | Apparently we have to give permission before the end of November or lose emails and contacts stored with Yahoo but the changeover won't happen until Jan-Mar next year. | bellbird (6169) | ||
| 1426253 | 2016-09-22 22:24:00 | I heard on the news today, Yahoo admited a huuuuge security breach from 2014 . 500 Million user a/c's . And thats after the huge 2012 breech : I see they learnt nothing from that . www.wsj.com And some xtra users are actually complaining about Spark moving email off yahoo :badpc: |

| 1426255 | 2016-09-22 22:38:00 | Verizon is buying Yahoo for $4.8 billion money.cnn.com Could that buyout be the real reason Spark is moving email off Yahoo . Nothing to do with security & reliability issues ? More than co-incidence ? from Lawrences link "What is more ironic is that Verizon is paying $4.8 billion for the only asset that Yahoo has, or rather had, its user information, which is now publicly available for $1800 on the dark web.?" a banana for yahoo. the end is nigh, the end is nigh :banana |
