    And if I might add, one stupid thing to do is logging into your Yahoo account in an internet cafe and forgetting to log out. That's what happened to someone I know. Even if it's the end of the world and everybody is scrambling to get into safety, NEVER forget to log out especially if you have very private emails in your Yahoo account.

    You can use a Yahoo! chat client like Miranda that is compatible with the OTR plugin, for strong encryption on your IM conversations.

    you should keep changing your password regularly......especially if you are logging in from different systems..that will definitely help

    Maybe you didn't noticed or you tend to click the remember my account log in.. it also happens to me. That was the disadvantage for using shared computer.

    This is the right thing to do. You can also use an email forwarding so that emails will be sent to your other account, the not-so important one...

    If someone logged in your account is more likely you have a hackable password

    I have never used Yahoo messenger though but Miranda, trouble-free messenger that supports Yahoo, MSN, ICQ, etc. etc.

    Do not use the option of saving your password, if you are signing in from any different location other than your home. Dont keep on adding unknown friends, some might add you and send you a link which might have a virus.
