Hey all,
Just finished a fun experience, I had my Yahoo! mail account hacked. The name on my account had been changed to "Mr Freddy Alsopz" and the location of the account changed to Brazil. Now I'm an Australian who is not named Freddy.
 
Still not sure how it happened, but on Monday I get an email to my other address telling me my password had been changed - NEWS TO ME!!
 
So I had a go at recovering my password and getting a new one via the Yahoo! help page but no luck. Fortunately our Mr Alsopz didn't change my security question or my alternate email address so after answering all the required questions, I was sent a new password. I have since changed my password to a string of what would appear to be random characters and reset all the details.
 
I was quite annoyed about it as I've had that account for 8 years.
 
My only disappointment is that I won't get to go Dick Cheney on his arse. Bastard. I figure the only way he got in was because my password was just a word.
