Must I change my email address if my Yahoo Contacts have been hacked and are receiving bogus emails?

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 Fill out a Contacts Restore http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/contact... Also do all of the following - Go to Options > Mail Options > POP & Forwarding to make sure your emails are not all being forwarded to someone else's address. Usually when you aren't receiving emails it's because the hacker has had them forwarded to his 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, etc -- to inform them that your account was hacked. They will be getting an email from the scammer claiming to be you needing to borrow money for some emergency - if you used your same username and password for ANY other site, you need to immediately change 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 - if your emails contained ANY financial information (Paypal receipts, online banking statement, credit card bills, et) 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 - 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.
