Yahoo woes
Yesterday when i tried to sign in to Yahoo Messenger i was unable to do so . I tried a couple of time but did not succeed . At that time i thought that there was a problem in the server or the college has blocked it again but the same thing happened for 2 hours . Then i decided to go the website and check my Yahoo mail . There i got the same error that my password was incorrect even though i hadnt changed it . I was quite shocked that how could a person hack my account , remebering at the same time a recent post by my friend qwertymaniac whose yahoo password was also hacked recently . I clicked on the lost passoword link . I was taken to a page where i had to enter my Bdate , Zip code and country . Luckily i remebered the correct info as i had entered the correct ones while making my account . But after submitting the info i got a response saying that ” For your protection your account has been temporarily disabled “ . I dont know what was the reason for it and how can Yahoo do such a thing . I sent a mail to there Customer Support but in there response they gave me links for ” Forgot password ” etc . I emailed them today again giving them full details of my account and explaining my problem . Hope i get my account back . I have been using it for 6 years now and all my contacts are in it . Have any of you guys faced such a problem ?
P.S. to Qwerty : Are you sure your account was hacked. I mean the same could have happened with you .

Yes the same happened to me 2. but I dont know any details whatsoever. My first guess was obviously : ‘Hacked:
Some one is launching attacks by purposefully trying to recover passes and putting the account into protected mode… I dunno what they will gain frm it…
perhaps make it a BOT…
also, plz edit yr About page so that we know ‘Who Is Madhur’
Yep i think that is the case . Lets hope we can recover our ids back . And for about page will be updating it in a day or two .
Hey I am from Malaysia. Interestingly, my Yahoo account also got hacked few days ago! I didnt change my password or anything and same like you I have been using the account for more than 5 years (prob. 6 years too!). I tried to get assistance from the Yahoo Support team but they refused to help me. It sucks when you lose your access to your PRIMARY email account!!!
yeah , it is definately bad and worst of all they yahoo Support Sucks . Only bots reply .
how long was the account locked? how was it unlocked, same thing happening to me.
Hi, my yahoo account has been hacked too and to my surprise I recvd a email to my alternate email account saying that my password has been changed.Its since last three days have been trying hard to retrieve my password,have called the yahoo customer service, emailed them more than ten times and still awaiting a reply from them.I have been using it since last 12years or more.Surprise what the hackers gain from our emails.
