How to restore my yahoo account that has been hacked and retrieve my folders and contacts?

Immediately change your password if you have not already done so, then Fill out a Mail Restore form ASAP http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/cl... you only have 48 hours to restore lost mail before it is permanently deleted from Yahoo's server Fill out a Contacts Restore http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/contact... Also do ALL of the following to protect your privacy and identity - Go to Options > Mail Options > POP & Forwarding to make sure your emails are not all being forwarded to the hacker’s address. Normally the hackers will have your incoming mails forwarded to their email address - make sure the alternate email address is still yours and you have a security question and answer set - until you get your Contacts back find some other way to reach them - Facebook, twitter, text, phone, ask friends to help, etc -- to inform them that your account was hacked. They will shortly be getting an email from the scammer claiming to be you needing to borrow money for some emergency and wanting money sent through Western Union or Moneygram - if you used your same email username and password for ANY other site, you need to immediately change the passwords on ALL of those accounts.

Unfortunately 80% of people use the same username and password for everything. Hackers know this and once they know your email login they'll try those same details on Facebook, Paypal, Twitter, Linkedin, Amazon, EBay, every major bank and credit card company, etc to try and hack those accounts as well. So do this right away if it's not too late - if the emails in your Inbox, Sent mail or saved folders contained ANY financial information (Paypal receipts, online banking statement, credit card bills, etc) you need to IMMEDIATELY inform these institutions.

You will have to freeze your bank and credit card accounts and get new account numbers and cards sent to you. Set up a new email address to change your Paypal account. These hackers will go through all of your emails to see if there is anything they can use to steal your money and identity.

That's one of the main reasons they hack your account - also consider filing a fraud alert with the credit bureaus -- read the FTC website http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/microsites/id... You didn't get an email recently that looked like it was from Yahoo asking you to verify or update your account, or that your account had exceeded its limits, or that there was suspcious activity did you? That was not from Yahoo, that was a phishing scam.

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.
