I don't know if the LTspice List has been hacked but I'm suddenly barraged with spam, like ~100 E-mails per day... sent to an address I use only for LTspice. So I changed my address. (Easy for me, I maintain ~200 different E-mail addresses just to cope with such situations :-)
Seriously I note from the Yahoo Group Managers Forum
(you can all drop by, the messages are open to any one to read)
that recent Yahoo problems whereby many folks could not post, upload photos, or add members to groups by the web interface have been have been attributed to flaws with its "defensive" software that I guess, stops among other things "spam submissions", "guessing on passwords" and "bot networks" from creating dummy ids, making multiple postings and harvesting e-mails etc.
Perhaps another side effect was that in order to fix the problems they had to lower the defenses for a while hence the bursts of spam.

PS If any one thinks this is a fairy story, then I'll happily discuss off list. From time to time I have to look at the fire wall logs for a small UK town council. (My employer). If we are deemed worthy of attack I can't conceive the onslaught that must be thrown at Yahoo.
