....I had the same thing happen only a few weeks ago, and I ended up opening a new account.

This has happened to me

This has happened to me twice. Once they somehow changed my pw and security question. And is it just me or does this seem to happen to Yahoo more often than the other providers.

yahoo

I normally go through and delete stuff before I ever open any mail in my yahoo account. But I sometimes miss something. Twice I have opened a mail that was not "right", and even though I didn't click on anything, they pirated my address book. just last week, it happened again, and when I went to sign back in, it kept asking for my phone number to verify. I got around it by going to help, and answering the questions and then changing my password.

It Happened to one of my AOL Accounts

The message has a link. I don't normally send links without a good explanation. This started four or five days ago, but it seems to be tapering down.

Security Breach at Yahoo

There was some sort of security failure at Yahoo recently and a number of accounts, a rather large number, were compromised. If you have a Yahoo account, it might be a good idea to login and change your password.

Hugs,
