Spark investigating after hack complaints

Spark is investigating whether Yahoo! Xtra's email service has been hacked again.

A spokeswoman for Spark confirmed to the Otago Daily Times that the telco company is investigating whether the email service has been hacked after a ''small number of reports'' about the problem.

Suspicious emails have been received from Yahoo! Xtra email addresses.

''We take this seriously,'' the spokeswoman said.

''Our advice at this point is if you receive an email with anything suspicious looking about it or a suspicious link you should delete it straight away.''

Spark - in its earlier incarnation of Telecom - was plagued by hacking in February, when more than 60,000 accounts were compromised.

More details to come.
