    Email notifications notice

    It seems over the last two weeks of so, someone has hacked my email passwords for info@ose and sale@ose. What this has done was allow them to spam other email users around the world using those email addresses as the senders. What this has also done, was get the ip address of those emails black listed. For example, I can no longer send emails to comcast.net email customers. So you guys may see that you are no longer getting your email notifications from info@ose. I'm trying to plead for their mercy and get removed from the black list.

      I agree. Why do they have to do this crap. They are so smart, why not use their money to do the right thing!

        I work for an Online Gaming Company here in Florida and we spend countless hours and $ trying so stop up holes and hacks in our games and systems. Some of these guys are very craftly. I mean if they spent as much time working on some useful software who knows.. Our demographic is the issue as well. Mostly males between the ages of 10 and 20.

          You know, Over the last two or three weeks, all the sudden I get about 10 to 20 spam emails a day. i used to get about 5 a week... maybe. I never sign up for anything, broadcast my email etc. Ive had the same email for close to 10 years. My wifes had hers for about 5yrs, gets 20 spams a day bc she signs up for everything she can. I wonder if this had anything do do with the hacking?????

            Too bad you're not as lucky as me ; I have won many millions of dollars in Nigerian lotteries ! Plus my newly discovered relatives in that wonderful Country want to give me millions more. Id'd love to "meet" these people, but what with airport security, I couldn't deliver to them the kind of "thank you" they deserve

                My computer was not hacked. My contacts list and offshoreelectrics email lists where not hacked.
                What they did was figure out my password to my email. And then use the server as a device to send random emails to users.

                    Steve, it just happened to me also 2 days ago!!!!!!!!!!!

                    I had Micro Soft block out my older hotmail account permanently. I e-mailed
                    all our friends from the comcast account and let them know to not OPEN ANYTHING
                    from our old account.

                        I am getting messages from some gal in a land far away that barely writes English (that is to say worse than mine!) wanting to start a relationship. I am thinking that the relatoinship has nothing to do with boats, motors or anything remotely connected to same. I tend to think it is more about liberating a fair portion of my paycheck from me. It is kind of comical when it comes through on my Blackberry. Have resisted the urge to reply but that will only let them know it is monitored account. I know how I got on the mailing list now! It is cheap entertainment at least!

                          FOR clarification. The NO customer info was compromised during this problem.
                          All they did was use the West Host server as a gateway to send spam email to randomly generated email addresses.
                          I know this because we checked the server email logs several times.

                          Emails should be flowing at this point. If you are not receiving them, please contact me from the contacts page.

                            Steve,

                            I never received anything! Maybe it's a good thing! Or probably I'm not actually on the mailing list after I signed up in 2008? Hehehe!
