Yes, that's exactly what they keep asking me- Secret Answer to the question which I asked myself 7 years ago...</p><p>Sigh...this will teach me not to ask stupid questions again...</p><p>Yeah, I think there's only two things I can do now:-</p><p>a) boycott Yahoo! and never ever use any of their services from now on</p><p>b) register a brand new account, with something like yow_chuan123@yahoo.com (sigh...)</p><p>Choice (a) means fighting against a giant internet conglomerate...so I guess I will stick with the latter one.</p><p>I am just worried about what these bozos is going to do with my original account.</p>yowchuanMon, 03 Apr 2006 23:34:18 -0000http://www.meshio.com/2006/04/yahoo-account-compromised/#comment-2465980<p>I don't think Yahoo! could do much since verification of a customer is entirely dependant on the password. If you have a security question, you can use that feature to change the password and reclaim the ID, otherwise it's gone.</p><p>It happened to me as well for my first Yahoo! account and the Yahoo! folk were prompt in their replies and offered consolation but had their hands tied understandably.</p><p>Yahoo! may not be perfect but then again, who is? :)</p>danMon, 03 Apr 2006 21:05:25 -0000http://www.meshio.com/2006/04/yahoo-account-compromised/#comment-2465982<p>Yeah man...I won't be able to use all the services I had; the Yahoo! Groups I subscribed to, Yahoo Messengers, Yahoo Mails etc...</p><p>And the Security Team at Yahoo! is definitely NOT VERY HELPFUL...I can't imagine that such a big name on the web do not have proper customer service... sucks...</p><p>On the upside, since I haven't been logging into my Messenger, I find that I have plenty more time to read more books and complete more paperwork.</p><p>But still, this is the first time I felt how Yahoo! sucks...BIG time...</p>yowchuanMon, 03 Apr 2006 12:17:18 -0000http://www.meshio.com/2006/04/yahoo-account-compromised/#comment-2465981<p>Ouch! dude</p>DavidMon, 03 Apr 2006 02:05:36 -0000
