Special Alert
As many of you know, the TeAm recently had one of our major accounts hijacked. The account has been recovered but the experience has uncovered a glaring flaw in our Seti Accounts.
If your Seti Account is using a hotmail, yahoo, or similar free email service with the same address as your Seti Name, your account is in danger of being HIJACKED.
If your account remains "inactive" for 30 days (or whatever policy the free email provider may use) the account is deactivated. Anyone can register for your email account and gain complete control of it. Once they have your old email address, getting your Seti Password is a simple FORGOT PASSWORD message to S@H and the password is automatically sent to your "old" email address. The hijacker now has complete control of your account.
If you have one of the free email services that you don't actively use and your email address is the same as your Seti Name, you need to either change your Seti Email Address or your Seti Name.
