My email has been hacked by "Yahoo Partner's Application" logged in from Thailand?

My account was used June 5th to try to send e-mails to my 2 contacts, by somebody in Columbia. Again, the other side of the planet. Yahoo's advice was change password, but how did they get the original password?

Searching (on Google) for "Yahoo Mail Hacked" yields a load of pages saying that this has been going on for months and that Yahoo seems to be powerless to do anything about it. Channel 4 News reports that a Russian man has been hacking Yahoo accounts to send spam with an encoded trojan. Other sources report that British Telecom is dropping Yahoo as the default e-mail service for its broadband clients.

What can you do about it? If you want to continue using the account:- 1. Don't keep your contacts list on Yahoo's server; keep a seperate address book on your computer, or phone (or in a book).

2. Check your account at least daily, and delete any messages from your inbox as soon as you've read them. 3.

Delete any outgoing messages from your "Sent Items" box after you've sent them. (There is a check-box in "Settings" that will prevent a copy of any outgoing messages being saved there. Keeping a tidy house, like this, will limit the number of adresses the spammers can reach.

They're only interfering with Yahoo's servers; they don't have access to your PC or phone.

I had same experience today. Yahoo --> Account Information --> View your recent sighin activity shows "Yahoo! Partner's application" accessed my email account.

The log shows "partner application" is located half world away in Istambul Turky. 1. They used all my contact list to create SPAM.

2. They used all my last years emails, scanned email address from the messages and used them to send SPAM. I checked my account settings for "Yahoo!

Partners's application". The list is empty. Which means I have never allowed any partner application to access my email.

Conclusion: "Yahoo! Partner's application" feature has SERIOUS security flow. Even if there is no configured partner's application, yahoo mail allows "any" such application to access your emails and allow them to send SPAM messages using your account.

Worse thing is- the SPAM email received by anyone looks like the message was sent from your yahoo account.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
