This part is the answer where I am request them to recover my relative's ID. That means my relative need to contact directly with Yahoo! for his lost ID.
my yahoo id hacked but i recovered my password with this website http://yahooidhacker.com but i paid 15$ & i wait 14 days
Yahoo is always being hacked... What a crap ...They are hacked 2x now as I know... During the previous years yahoo was hacked and later the hacker give their account back... That's why google beats yahoo because of the security of Yahoo very penetrable to hacking... That's why google has many engineerings. Some engineering are assigned to system security... There are plenty of hacking files against yahoo as far as I know.
it can only be hacked if you do something foolish like login through fake yahoo pages or stuff like dat coz passwords will be encrypted even yahoo wont know th real password so how do u expec hackers to get it
Yahoo is just as secure as Google. Passwords are encrypted in Yahoo's database just like Google's. I think people are just dumb and give it out to the wrong folks. Google is just as vulernable anyways. No engineer is 100% hack proof.
