Long discarded AOL email accounts come back from the dead — to spam you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

NEW YORK (CNNMoney)<\/p>\n

Whether or not you use AOL, a recently exposed mass hack of the company’s network promises trouble for everybody.<\/h2>\n

AOL<\/span>\u00a0(AOL<\/a><\/span>)<\/span>\u00a0users: Hackers stole “a significant number” of email addresses, passwords, contact lists, postal addresses and answers to security questions, the company said in a\u00a0blog post<\/a>Monday. Anyone of the company’s 120 million account holders might be affected. Judging by AOL’s description of the incident, that total number could well be in the tens of millions. But AOL isn’t giving any details about the incident for now.<\/p>\n

Non-AOL users: Watch out for spam that looks like it came from you or your friends’ AOL accounts.<\/p>\n

It’s a double whammy that’s shows just how annoying hackers can be when they loot our contact lists.<\/p>\n
