I usually chose different passwords for different websites and always make sure to put in at least one digit in. But recently I can't get into my yahoo account (the password had 14 letters - one capital letter - and 2 digits)-and I'm guessing somebody broke into it, changed my password and the answer to the secret question. So I keep blocking it everyday by trying to log in several times-so that the person who did this will be unable to log in and read my private data. When scanning my computer with AVG I found yeldmanager in the cookie folder as a threat-was that used to hack my mail? So the question is - is there any way I can permanently block that account, find the person who did this, or retreive/change my password? I wrote to yahoo, but I received no reply yet and I'm quite desperate about this. Looking forward to your reply. I have a HUGE problem.

So sad that I know people are using these passwords everyday. I know I am guilty of using these at work, quick access. But i would never dream of having any of those at home. This is so sad!

My personal blog got hacked hard this last month, and they did a real job on me. Deleted past post, changed links, heck who knows what else. I am dreading the decision to completely wiping out this current install and all other files on my account and start over. Just because i have no way of knowing if there is unwanted code hidden somewhere. I have had this blog for years and had hundreds of post on it. Now with hackers, spammers, and the whole hype on this stage in the Internet's growth its a total war out there. Instead being able to focus on quality content now you need to worry about all the other BS. Thx John for being so insightful, your blog will forever be in my daily reads. thx/lew Wow, how i needed to read this before.

What is the value in caps, etc. Choose a solid pass, but don't be too confident. Caps, special characters, length, done deal! Just do it. Andrew's revelation is probably not the best being that it defeats the purpose of 12 characters. Mine is 13. LOL If they want in they will get in.

So if you don't have any special characters then that cuts it down even further O_o just givin you a heads up that you don't put that kind of information out on the web.

My friend did this to me once, but he wouldn't show me how I just got to see certain parts of the process. He wouldn't show me the command prompt paths that he followed. More than likely your fiance is a C++ professional so you can look into that, but the books on that are huge. well he probably went into your boot sec i believe then he checked out your security logs.
