Long story, but I'll make it a short one. Nearly 1 month ago I tried logging in to my business email account that I've had for close to 4 years. I get invalid username/or password window. After numerous attempts and head scratchings, I ask for a password retreival. I answer the secret question, that I know has to be right, I mean i have it all written down in a book in a safe place, wrong. My records are wrong, and it seems Yahoo doesnt have me registered anymore. I guessed something was wrong, but no big deal. I tried logging in to my Myspace account, same thing. This time I really thought it was a computer issue, keyboard or something, I didn't know. I emailed yahoo about it, all they sent was a password retreival link. I tried it, no luck. I wait a week, try again, same thing. The only thing I could do was cut the loss and open new accounts. I did, no problem. Then a few more weeks go by, I get a phone call from a friend who asks me why I changed my Myspace profile to my business name and said to come on over and buy drugs from us along with many other comments like that. I hadnt logged into that site in weeks. It all made sense, someone got into my email, then accessed myspace by finding my new user info. Is this illegal? I can't access either page now, and have no control over editing or deleting my profile that has been tampered. Yahoo doesnt even beleive me that the accont belongs to me, because my secret question and answer has been changed. What can I do in this situation. I am willing to find the person responsible and press maximum charges.
