Hi,

Within the past few days we have learned that her ex-husband has been into her account reading and sending emails. How we noticed was the password had been changed by the means of the secret question
How can you be sure? I don't know anything about Yahoo mail, but do you need the secret question to change the password?

What I am wondering is that there might be one of those "loverspy" scumwares at work here? You know the sort of things..............keylogging, forwarding e-mails, password stealing and the like?

What I don't quite understand is why the password was changed, surely that would lock the original user out of the account, AND advertise the security breach, not what one would usually associate with a spying exercise?

Or is this just a crude identity theft/let's p1$$ someone off thing?

I might sound paranoid, but I would still check very thoroughly for trojans, spyware and such..........this could be a smokescreen to lull you into a false sense of security? Like he might have attached a stealthy "nasty" to an e-mail from someone she trusts (he would obviously know them)

The lack of subtlety confuses me, I suggest that you err on the side of caution.

Cheers
