Or is there a way to monitor who is geting in my yahoo account
please tell me anything that might help
sorry for my handwritingh I busted my hand
you could try the "i forgot my password" and then go through anwsering the secret questions and then you can change your password to something else
as far as monitoring your yahoo account... i don't think there is a way
End users do not have access to yahoo account logs.
Once you do manage to get your account back, I'd look back and figure out how your cousin got your password to begin with, unless, you gave it to him/her.
Scan your system for trojan's/keyloggers to see if you have one on your system that is giving him your password.
Do a lost password thing, if it doesnt work or he has changed the question and/your user info on the account then email the webmaster, they can help you get your account back. if that doesnt work make a newone and email everyone in address books letting thm know about the change. then sign the old account up for as much spam as possible that way anymail of yours that does get through will get lost in the mess.
Am i the only one to notice ? Did you bust your head too, cuz if you busted your hand you sure didn't forget how to spell. You just need to type slower.Quote:

Right your yahoo account off and create another one. Use a different nick and password obviously, then be a bit more carefull with your passwords.
I think this is a lost cause, you should open up a new yahoo mail account. They are FREE you know.Quote:

All good stuff,
Please remember that your secret questions SHOULD NOT be answered truthfully................anyone who knows you and your family will also know the answers.
For example:
Mother's maiden name = "Wombat$brAin10"
Place of birth ="1600PennsylvaniaAvenue"
And so on :D
Fathers Name: Sperm Donor # 6875-21E
Place of Birth: Yellow Cab Lic# E1200957 on transit from my mom's place of employment (Jiggle Girl's Strip Club) to the west end housing projects.
Pets Name: P3N1S
You live at the WHite House. kool man. you da bomb :D

lol :D so do you guys think that i should just make a new account
Yahoo, hotmail. They are throw away accounts. At least as long as they are free that is. Open more than one, use one for all the stuff you sign up for on line, then ignor all the spam you get through it. Use another for the serious stuff.
Disturb,
Yes I guess that would be the simplest, but remember the advice to check your system for keyloggers/trojans first, or it will be all in vain.
Cheers
Jinx is right. I use my Hotmail and Yahoo! accounts as nothing but spam decoys, which means I get very little spam on my real e-mail account. :D
So did you play with your pet a lot as a kid? :PQuote:
On a serious note, I'd rather not give away my Y! account so easily [after I got the 100 MB mailbox] although the Gmail one... but, regardless, do a hard scan of everything on your computer, install a firewall [at least], password you BIOS, Boot Manager [get one for the password even if you have a single OS], account and everything else that can be passworded [and as much as possible use different passwords]. Then with all of this [btw a misconfigured firewall is only hogging up memory so take your time and read the help] go ahead and sign-up for a new account. If you know anybody will be on your OS account [though they shouldn't] make sure you always sign out of everything, or otherwise stay with them throughout their browsing.
but... as a morale booster... **** happens!
Hey I gave that advice! ;) Quote your sources mister! ;) But err yeah, next time be careful kiddo.Quote:

Keylogging and PWS's are a huge problem on Yahoo! It seems that everywhere you turn someone is trying to *trick* you into entering your acct info into a fake login page or they'll send you a file and it'll be an EOptions String stealer that will grab your hash (Y! Crypto hash of your Messenger password in the registry), decrypt it, and send the result back to them through a number of ways (smtp, pm, to their webserver etc). They'll even make geocities accounts and make fake login pages then link them to their profiles so that if you're browsing someone's profile and you look at their links at the bottom you might be tricked into going there and supplying your account information to login to the "supposed" adult profiles to view the content.
A year ago I wasn't paying attention and lost my main account to a fake login. Some days you're just too tired or preoccupied to notice these things.
Hrmm, yeah. Pointless scam's if ya ask me. Didn't know people were so desperate for another's email account. Credit card information I can understand, but their e-mail. Now if it was a corporate type "war" where it could contain some sort of product dispute, then I can see. Other than that, those juvenile email scam's are pretty sad.
your cousin has an key logger, so better find it and remove it or if he has changed the registration details, there is no way to get
If you wish to be sure you are clean, using the AdAware and Spybot duo will detect and clean most common keyloggers as well as almost any spyware/maleware.
To be absolutely sure, here are some other links to programs that could help you.

moxnix: AdAware detect's keylogger's as well? I didn't know that. I have AdAware and I didn't know it detected keylogger's.
Both AdAware and Spybot do pick up on common run-of-the-mill keyloggers but really don't work that well against the more esoteric ones.Swatit is one of the best I have found at finding and removing them. Other than that try a combination of the various ones avalible to find and remove them. Swatit finds them mostly because they are installed via a trojan and have phone home capabilities. It is slow, but really goes through your files in depth. SwatitQuote:
While testing various anti-spyware utilities last year (find.pcworld.com/40211), I discovered that two otherwise top-notch spy catchers, Lavasoft’s Ad-aware and PepiMK Software’s Spybot Search & Destroy, weren’t particularly good at finding the keyloggers that I had running in stealth mode on my test PC. Two other programs — PestPatrol Inc.’s PestPatrol and Webroot’s Spy Sweeper — were better, though still hit-or-miss. No product found all of the keyloggers I had installed. And even when they did find one, seldom could they completely disable or remove it.

Also, one of the links I provided in my other post, shows the best ways to detect and find hardware keyloggers. Don't forget to check for those if anyone has physical access to your equipment.
YOU CAN USE THESE FOLLOWING OPTIONS
1. CHECK WHETER UR SYSTEM IS HACKED WITH SOME ONE ELSE SAY ITS SHARED WITH ANY OTHER PC.. REMOCE FILE SHARING OPTION FROM PROPERTIES OF INTERNET EXPLORER
2. REMOVE ANY KEYLOGGER INSTALLED AT UR PC.
3. CHANGE UR PASSWORD WITH SECRET QUESTION
4. USE ASTERIK CODES IN UR PASSWORD
5 AND LAST OPTION IS TO CREATE NEW MAIL ID AND DO NT SHARE UR PASSWORD WITH ANY ONE
Yes, so you have. Did I for one second come off as trying to sell it as my own? For that I shall apologize :)Quote:

And moxnix: Yeah, I have SwatIt Pro and it work's wonder's on finding those really HIDDEN trojan's/bot's/keylogger's/etc on the system. I've had it for awhile and even though the scan's take awhile sometime's, it's worth it as it's a very in-depth scan.
