I strongly doubt it is a forum member. Could be some hacker attack on the Yahoo
system, in which case you'll probably not be the only one. I have Norton
Internet Security installed here, and though I only access from the privacy of
my residency (not some big company in other words), I get at least a half dozen
invasion attempts every day. Mind you, my computer isn't on 24h/day either.
