AOL.com Mail

Thousands of users are reporting AOL mail login error, but mine is working just fine at 9:01 AM EDT. Most the of people who are experiencing problem are receiving an AOL Error Code C0FE1701 which is rather weird. Normally we expect Google Mail to go down with error codes, maybe Hotmail, but we surely don’t expect this to happen to AOL. Although we’ve had a somewhat peaceful week, lately these outages have hit Gmail, Hotmail, Netflix, and more, and frankly, we are very tired of them. Most of us use Google Mail and other Google apps, and our work depends on it, but I know there are thousands of AOL mail users who cannot log into their email at AOL.com. At the moment we don’t know if the AOL mail login error code C0FE1701 is in any way related to the phishing attacks that hit Hotmail, Google, Yahoo, Comcast, AOL, and others as the only mail that it’s not working for some is AOL mail. I repeat: at the moment AOL mail works fine as well as AIM. Let me know in comments if you are experiencing issues and I’ll let you know if AOL releases an official statement.

Addresses ending in hotmail.co.uk, yahoo.co.uk, gmail.com, aol.com, hotmail.com, aim.com and other domains were posted to the site late last night. Users with accounts at these email sites are strongly encouraged to change their passwords immediately. Initial lists, first discovered by tech blog Neowin, contained accounts beginning mostly with the letters A and B. This new list, however, contains accounts beginning mostly with the letters T to Z. Users whose email addresses begin with these characters are even more strongly encouraged to change their passwords.a

Furthermore, it appears many accounts within these lengthy lists of email addresses are present in other lists now circulating the Internet. Some of these lists appeared as early as 29 September. In an email to CNET UK, Websense Security Labs believes compromised accounts have been used to send spam. "The spam emails are being sent from user accounts to contacts in their address book -- so people will think the email came from a friend or known contact," Websense explained. "[We have] detected a marked increase in the number of spam emails which have been sent from Yahoo, Gmail and Hotmail accounts over the last few days." We reported yesterday that we had seen lists containing thousands of usernames and passwords to Hotmail, Google and Yahoo accounts. All three companies confirmed they had taken action to protect the compromised accounts and blamed the leak on phishing attacks."Upon learning of the issue, we immediately requested that the credentials be removed and launched an investigation," Microsoft explains. "As part of that investigation, we determined that this is not a breach of any Microsoft servers."Google assured us its position was similar. "As soon as we learned of the attack, we forced password resets on the affected accounts," it said. "We will continue to force password resets on additional accounts when we become aware of them."
