    try using strong passwords.

    I use a password generator to make strong passwords, and then I use a firefox plugin called Lastpass to remember the password so I wont have too.

    Dont worry, u can get it back easily. The hacker can not change the birthdate in yahoo mail. Yahoo allows adding the birthday at once only.

    So contact yahoo and give them your birthdate, and they will give you your id back try to use Forgot password feature and use birthdate.

    Alternate email is not important, you will get it back i am very hopefull.

    Goodluck

    Email them and tell them you can verify your personal details.
    If you have done that, just wait for them to get back to you.

    Thats really really bad. I hope they have the history of personal data change.
    I think this is the only chance to make them sure that you are really you. :(

    I dont see how you will get it back so the best thing to do is to get a new one and stop wasting time on trying to figure out how to get the old one back!

    Eh, I bet they save IPs, they know that you have logged in a lot of times from the same IP you have sent them the e-mail from, so... You`ll get your e-mail address back.
    By the way, I don`t really believe that someone can hack a yahoo account, I bet that someone knew your password and is messing with you.

    Ok here.. tell him that you will pay, and its better to do it in paypal.. once you get their e-mail address, pay $1 only.. you should see a name or something on the receipt... then upload screenshots to paypal that you're hacked... report fraud... their paypal e-mail address.. then report to authorities.. >.<
