Exclamation Someone hacked my account

Someone apparently hacked my account and changed my password and user information and alternate e-mail so i can't even get a new password sent to me. I can't get yahoo to send me a reply to help me out. Any suggestions?

Angry

Same thing happened to me yday. I emailed yahoo customer service. No response. I called them today on the number posted here. Got a rep who said I needed to give them my birthdate that I have on my account for tehm to do anything.

Without that , they cannot help. I had set it up so long ago, I dont know what birthdate I gave them, so looks like I have lost my yahoo account to somebody else for good.

need to ask them to disable it so it isnt misused.

Default Someone Hacked My Account

Someone hacked my account also. Stole my password and then changed it so I can't access it. I couldn't retrieve it by entering the requested information. This happened to me seveal days ago. I opened a new account, but I have lost all my saved correspondence and address book. They also have hacked some credit card accounts as well and obtained my bank account information and credit card accounts.

I thought that the user name and birthdate could not be changed?

Also I got an email one time from someone pretending to be yahoo asking for my password. Their email address was something like [email]yahoo_admin@emailaccount.com[/email].

Default yeah

my ex-girlfriend hacked my account and i've been trying to get it back for months! i have been trying to figure out the program she uses to do it. i'm not the only one she's done this to. yahoo wants me to send them a copy of my drivers liscence and as much about my account and contact lists and people on my messenger that i can. problem is, it's been so long that i can't remember a whole lot! so here i find this topic while searching for answers. help....please.

Default more common than i thought

I guess Yahoo destroying someone's account is more common than I thought. What irks me is that I have two Yahoo accounts, and I attempted accessing one; I admit, I had forgotten the password, so Yahoo had me fill in the password questionnaire. And then deleted the password on my primary account, the same one I had used not thirty seconds prior. That was a week ago, and I have gotten a slew of 'responses' from Yahoo all asking who my 'childhood hero' was (because apparently that was my secret password question - ahem, I chose 'pet' when I created my Yahoo accounts). And I thought this was a just me thing, I did not know it was this serious with Yahoo. And thanks to whomever it was that posted the Yahoo customer service number (sorry I do not remember your name, but you should go down in history as a god or something for figuring that one out). I am about to give them several odd phone calls until I get some help.

R.
