There are many types of hacks now, phishing and mirroring is the most common hack. for now, we don't have a protection for that. all you just have to do is change the privacy setting of your YM that only your friends and yourself may be able to communicate. thats the only way you can take care of your account for now, or you just have to contact yahoo and reprot this abuse for they will ban or block whoever he/she is that had hacked your account.

Possible problem with secure http connection of messenger

Yahoo Messenger? It is pretty well protected unless someone hacked your user name or password--someone who knows you?

Consider getting a new user name and password--good idea to change that password every once in a while.

You could contact Yahoo but they often provide little help.

If you are using a router and wireless for the unit--make sure its protected with a security setup and change that password also--so no one can get in and see what you are doing.

Either someone hacked the router or your Messenger name and password.

Why i can't log in to my yahoo id and how can someone add picture on my yahoo messenger profil and how to delete it

In case of a hacked account send a mail describing your problem [email protected]. If this doesn't help, callYahoo: 1-408-349-1572, explain to a customer service person whathappened. They will ask you to do certain things and then they compareyour original info with the changed info. Within 24 hrs you should getyour account back!

Well, if you post the pw and user name online someone will surely hack it. Go to where the login is and use the password reset link they provide. You have two options, get the password sent to your alternate email if you spcified one or you can answer a secret question to reset it yourself. If that does not work contact Yahoo and they will send you a new password. And in future do NOT post usernames or passwords online in a public forum even if you are locked out of an account.

Hacked Id

Yes your email has most likely been hacked. This obviously means someone is reading your mail. Create a new account with a totally different user name (if your user name was leannraven don't make it leannraven2) and send an email to all of your friends to send mail to your new one and to stop sending to the old one. I don't know of any other way to fix this.

check the connection in the messenger maybe its changed.
