Because your account got hosed, likely by spyware/keylogger/trojan, they're incompetent?

Dead on. $10 says you logged into the account on an infected machine. It sucks dude, but sh!t happens. Running around whining and cursing like a 12 year old girl doesn't do crap except instigate trolls to pound you into the ground.

i could care less about peoples stupid comments, i know how it works, stupid show up in every thread, we all know who they are...

The funny thing is i only logged onto that account from my computers, in my own house.....but then again they could have been affected....


And yes, i do say they're incompetent....i reported this and havent heard anything back

why make a big deal out of it?

it's not like you paid for the account, just get a new one.

do you have personal mails in there or something? this would be a good time to scan ur computer for worms

Get a new account and then email your old accout. Explain to them really nice what happened. I'm sure they'll give you your old accout back after they get up from lauging their a$$es off.

He is understandibly p!ssed as he has a bunch of stuff linked with that email address.

This same thing happened to me.

I had this hotmail email address and it was blocked. I think I knew the person who got my email account blocked also. MSN did nothing and I was p!ssed as the email was cool and mine.

Well it was a hassle but I used another email address. SO funky that email address but had to get everyone I knew to use that one.

Well cut a long story short I later just register the SAME email address and no one has taken it. Think asian name that isn't common so I got it back again

i seriously doubt you're ever gonna get it back. it sucks, but thats life.

and once you're completely convinced that you're never gonna get that account back, sign that email address up for every kind of spam you can think of. get creative with it. this will basically make the account as unsuable for them as it is for you.

Don't piss off a girl or an ex-girlfriend. They did guess secret password and they guessed it and you got screwed,

If it was a keylogger. You can determine when the program was installed. Usually you have to press an assortment of keys to log in.

Once you find out the time and date. You can view video footage of the day that happened.

Or you can just check the video footage of the school when you couldn't log in (backtrack).

i lost my hotmail once and it was pretty easy to recover.

scan your machine for viruses and spyware. its likely someone got it that way and is using your account to spam now.

When you say "hacked" do mean that someone figured out your incredibly unique password based on your dog's name?

are you trying to login using IE? I use Opera for just about everything else but it won't let me login to Yahoo anymore.

I think parts of Yahoo are down right now. I can't get into my domain control panel.
