I'm going to spam this a bit.
If anyone here has a verizon.net e-mail in real life, it might be time to change your password.
I just had an interesting e-mail exchange with a cousin. He asked me to buy an Amazon e-card for $200 and send it to a friend of his because his card was declined.
Now, this cousin probably has $200 lost under the seats of his car and the return e-mail was wrong.
A short phone call to him confirmed my suspicion and he had already changed his password, I wasn't the first to call him.
I own my own domain and my own email, so I have total control.
BLUF: Get rid of verizon.net and get a new email account. Set a forwarder for 30 days if you must, but get off of it.
verizon.net accounts are effectively dead, they sold off the domain and email to aol.com, then closed down the Verizon-owned infrastructure.
Yeah, I know they were the same company, AOL got put under the Oath corporate branding during the Yahoo / Verizon merger and spinoff.
When they did the migration from Verizon-owned servers to Yahoo (Oath)-owned servers, they "unmasked" (decrypted) the passwords and supposedly re-encrypted them, but Oath had some major software flaws that allowed hackers to grab a bunch (like 60%) of the former Verizon accounts' credentials.
I already went through this with a family member. Twice- after the first time I set all of it up, she kept using verizon.net because, "well, that's where everybody sends my emails to", and they were able to leverage that to get her Microsoft account, which is tied to her corporate O365 account and local login to the PC. So I got to deal with Microsoft support and rebuild a PC for dessert. What a treat. /s
