Re: [Cable HSI] 1email to 2 diff customers-Security Risk!!!

I can understand that you are disgruntled. I don't think you will get much help on this because if what you say is true then this is a situation that Mediacom does not have a standard answer for since this was not standard procedure. Something broke down for the situation to come about and there is no stock answer or solution.

I don't mean to trivialize your situation but your privacy and security with your email is probably no more compromised than mine. The email service provided through Mediacom is not private nor secure in the strict sense. Any unscrupulous provider along the path that email travels could read and keep all of your emails. Banks and health care providers don't use email to communicate with individuals about their accounts or records.

I thought I remember reading about a similar situation in this forum a long time ago. I don't know what the resolution was.

My suggestion would be to use a new email address and move on. I wouldn't like it if I was told this since I have my MCHSI email address tied to many, many other online accounts. I have about 5 notebook pages of online accounts that would need to be changed if I change my MCHSI email address as well as notifying hundreds of contacts in my address book.

I'm still on page 2 in my book.So, to answer you, YES,I am trying to move on. But it is not as easy as how you make it sound like.

Did you know there are sites out there where should u have to update your email address the only way for it to happen is for them to send a confirmation code/link to your OLD Email address?

well..i better get back to it so i can at least get halfway of this mess that Mediacom has created.
