report malware
Do we have a way of reporting spam/malware to you (and then, hopefully, you do something about it)? For example, I've gotten two messages today, telling me that my email is going to be canclled or whatever, and these messages are apparently coming from other AOL accounts.

Hello there,
If a user is abusing our system to send mail, we're definitely interested. Please mark these emails as spam, it will generate a report that goes to a team focused on such experiences can review and take the appropriate action. For security reasons, they'll be limited in the information they can share back, however, we're dedicated to ensuring our users don't abuse our system.
If an AOL user is sending you spam/scam emails, you can report it here: https://help.aol.com/articles/report-abuse-or-spam-on-aol
Additionally, here's how to recognize official AOL emails: https://help.aol.com/articles/identify-legitimate-aol-websites-requests-and-communications
Thank you!

EVERY night 2 times a night 2 emails from an obvious AOL fraud with some kind of phishing or malware, but yoiu don't stop it. YOU SHOULD stop every email looking like it is from Aol but it is not -

Reporting Phishing should be able to be easily done. You should have an easy way to report problems to prevent more damage being done to others. I spent 5 minutes trying to figure out how to do it on your email site and couldn't figure it out.

Is anyone else getting this?? For weeks now, I've been getting an e-mail saying I will not be able to access my e-mails if I don't agree to the AOL terms. And when I click on it, a message pops up saying the survey isn't safe.

hacker sends email refering to old password , Threatening to 'expose my mails' and accessing my computer and asking ofr lots of bitcopims...
I ignore but would like to see AOL to eliminate this hacking by stengthenking its security.
he sends..in part ":I am a spyware software developer.
Your account has been hacked by me in the summer of 2018.I understand that it is hard to believe, but here is my evidence:
- I sent you this email from your account.
- Password from account ....(gives old password)The hacking was carried out using a hardware vulnerability through which you
went online (Cisco router, vulnerability CVE-2018-0296).I went around the security system in the router, installed an exploit there.
When you went online, my exploit downloaded my malicious code (rootkit) to
your device.
This is driver software, I constantly updated it, so your antivirus is
silent all time."What can AOL do to avoid this??

keep receiving emails that say j must update my terms with you or my email account will close 5th November . I think it's a scam but it uses your oath and aol brands and an aol.Com site address . it basically takes you to a one drive page that asks for email address and password . Please can someone confirm if my account needs anything doing to it and let me have an address so I can forward mail to you i have looked through my account on your site abd all seems to be up to date .

To:you Details
Hello!
I'm a hacker who cracked your email and device a few months ago.
You entered a password on one of the sites you visited, and I intercepted it.
This is your password from ********@verizon.net on moment of hack: 21k9hOf course you can will change it, or already changed it.
But it doesn't matter, my malware updated it every time.Do not try to contact me or find me, it is impossible, since I sent you an email from your account.
Through your email, I uploaded malicious code to your Operation System.
I saved all of your contacts with friends, colleagues, relatives and a complete history of visits to the Internet resources.
Also I installed a Trojan on your device and long tome spying for you.You are not my only victim, I usually lock computers and ask for a ransom.
But I was struck by the sites of intimate content that you often visit.I am in shock of your fantasies! I've never seen anything like this!
So, when you had fun on piquant sites (you know what I mean!)
I made screenshot with using my program from your camera of yours device.
After that, I combined them to the content of the currently viewed site.There will be laughter when I send these photos to your contacts!
BUT I'm sure you don't want it.Therefore, I expect payment from you for my silence.
I think $868 is an acceptable price for it!Pay with Bitcoin.
My BTC wallet: 1YnYAxprVrTo1WzPPzMo86ste5Ssp4xsyIf you do not know how to do this - enter into Google "how to transfer money to a bitcoin wallet". It is not difficult.
After receiving the specified amount, all your data will be immediately destroyed automatically. My virus will also remove itself from your operating system.My Trojan have auto alert, after this email is read, I will be know it!
I give you 2 days (48 hours) to make a payment.
If this does not happen - all your contacts will get crazy shots from your dark secret life!
And so that you do not obstruct, your device will be blocked (also after 48 hours)Do not be silly!
Police or friends won't help you for sure ...p.s. I can give you advice for the future. Do not enter your passwords on unsafe sites.
I hope for your prudence.
Farewell.Reply
