Re: Securing verizon?

If you mean they are getting messages that claim to
come from Verizon but don't, that has nothing to do with passwords or anything
else in their account settings. It has nothing to do with their accounts
being hacked. Any spammer can send any e-mail message to anyone and make
the to line seem as though it comes from anyone. They can claim to be from
the IRS, Social Security Administration, Verizon, your next door neighbor,
anyone.
If someone is using their account to send mail to
others or looking at their e-mail, that's different and passwords should be
changed.
Your message sounds as though it’s the first of
these things that is occurring. They should just delete such messages or
report them to the appropriate department at Verizon, though I think that is a
waste of time.

Subject: [TechTalk] Securing verizon? I've got some people who have verizon email addresses and they keep getting what I know to be fake/phishing verizon emails. They're getting a little peranoid and doing password change isn't calming them even though they do it everytime. Is there a way to tighten up verizon's email access on their side, maybe 2fa? I'm assuming they're accessing either via phone (it would be an iPhone if it is) or pc browser webmail access. Thanks. Dave.
