My account is hacked ! Yahoo's security level is low

Hello all
my yahoo account has been hacked
firstly i restored my password by my security questions
later again it was hacked and the hacker removed the questions
now i cannot restore my password
please help me restore my account.

 

Did u keep an alternate email so that you can retrieve the password there or else its gonna be tough for you now without that. Try to write to yahoo support also may be that may be of some help for you in case you are lucky enough

 

i had an alternate email but the hacker removed that tooooo

 

use the alternate email address or phone no...

 

dude, he removed it all

 

That hacker must be really talented. Try opening another email maybe you should open up a Gmail account and see how it goes..

 

Check if there's a keylogger or any suspicious hidden program that is running in your computer, before signing up again for a new email account.

 

In such case, there is no other possibility.

 

The best advise I can give you is not to open you email account on public computers or internet cafe some people might be using some malicious or adware softwares to decrypt your password and username. Was there an instance you use a public computer on school or internet cafe? try to remember maybe you can catch the culprit and report it to the owner who owns the cafe and give him/her a lesson.

 

i already opened a new gmail account

 

i didnot open my email account any where in public places

 

There is no option left just open a new account and always keep your password strong

 

Check your computer for malware, the chance is pretty low that somebody hacks your password twice by bruteforce/guessing.

Trojans can be fully undetectable even if your av shows nothing it can be there, you can buy troajn crypters for just a few bucks.

Also note that those programs can copy themself to any device connected to your computer through usb or lan.

A good start is hijackthis, malwarebytes, spybot s&d, superantispyware.

 

You cant blame yahoo because yahoo is providing top level security to its user for free .there must be something in your computer.
No one can track or steal your password from yahoo because they log you in through a secure encryption channel name "SSL" (https://) which cannot be decrypted !

now with yahoo mail there's an option they give you to answer your previous security question(not the one that hacker made) which you setup sometimes before, if you answer to that question, you can get the control of your account
