    Yahoo Instant Messemger Sending Random Old SMS Texts Middle of the Night?

    Around midnight my husband started receiving random old SMS texts that I had sent him months ago using Yahoo messenger from my PC. This is annoying and a bit unnerving. Have I been hacked? Is it a virus? Or a Yahoo issue?

    Maybe, account was hacked. To prevent this, you can update your system and delete any malware. Changing password is also a good choice.

    I got a yahoo mail way back 10 years from now though, I'm no longer accessing it. Forgot my password tho and didn't plan to re-access it anymore.
