Yahoo Email Accounts

FOR ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY, THIS IS IMPORTANT.

Yahoo is the most hacked web based email service.  Even if you use their service for non-imporant stuff, you need to be extra vigilant if you use their service.  They allow unlimited attempts at entering your password and that allows hackers to gain access to your account and use all info stored there to ruin your life.

How it works:

  • Hack your Yahoo account.
  • Learn your recovery email address
  • Use your Yahoo password to see if it works on your recovery email
  • If successful, they have access to all your emails that are stored your primary email’s server.  They will be there unless you use their web based email utility to delete them.  Sorry.
  • Chances are that you get emails from your bank, credit cards, broker, and other financial places there.  Account numbers may be attached along with login names.
  • If this info is included, the hacker will try the Yahoo/regular email password to gain access to these accounts.
  • Even if they can’t access your accounts with that password, they can sent in a lost password request and monitor your email accounts until that info arrives.
  • At this point, you are screwed.  You will lose access to these accounts at this point and the hacker will be able to drain the accounts at will and they will drain them one at a time until they get it all.
  • You have no recourse with the financial institutions.  It is your responsibility to maintain a safe online environment to access these accounts.
  • The hacker is not in this country and there will be nothing law enforcement can do to help you, other than to take a report.

Mind your passwords.
