😡 To continue with a earlier post by another member, the same thing happened to me tonight. I was on yahoo, and right in the middle of a conversation as a matter of fact, when not only was I signed out, but my password was changed, and my info to retrieve it was invalid… same thing with a friend of mine in the same night, cept, we think its a virus, because from -his- screen name, someone send out a mass message with a web link… well, I thought it was my friend, whom I know in real like, not from the internet, and just automatically clicked on it. Boom. Same thing happened to me as it did to him. Has this happened to anyone else, and if so, does anyone one know ANYTHING about how to possibly fix this, or get some help? Thanks!
Did you read the posts on Magic PS? Or the ones about clicking on links? There are a lot of things that might have happened to you and ways that you might be able to solve it. I take it those did not work? If you could post again and let us know what you’ve tried it will be easier to help you. If you want to include your OS (i.e. Windows 98, XP, Mac…) that could be helpful, but even more helpful would be to let us know your version of Yahoo!. We’ll get to the bottom of this most likely and you’ll be IM’ing before you know it. 🙂
THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME! and when i tried to get a new password…my account info was changed. I thought it was my brother because they had sent out a message on my SN saying “please check out mah bro website http://www.freewebs.com/zoo_fika” and i asked him and he denied it. I don;t know what to do.. I NEED THAT SN BACK! Can anyone help us??

Thanks!As I suggested above you need to search this site. Your problems are not new. You probably have MAGIC PS, it steals your password. Try the suggestions already on the site and THEN if those don’t work let us know what you have tried. You can use the search feature we have, you may want to use the advanced search. Let us know how things work out.
I’ve seen post after post on this now that I’ve looked… but is there anything that ANYONE knows about getting yahoo to help us get our names back? Thanks.
I was talking on yahoo tonight with a few friends, and I got a message from someone i talk to.. Saying check out my new website at ________ So i clicked on it not thinking anything about it!! Well not even 5 min later a message came up on my comp saying someone else has logged into my account from another computer! ahhh.. I tired getting a new password and it says the info dont match.. I’ve sent yahoo e-mails. It wouldn’t really bother me but I have very imporant things saved in my e-mail. for one like my ss#.. i wrote it in there cuz i’m very bad at remembering things like that.. So i’d really like to find away to get my password back!! Thanks alot! Lisa
I had almost the same experience with absolutely no help from Yahoo. I hope some one can help me as well. Please message me if you get resolution.

LisaIf you can email yahoo the original account information-the information you entered when you first created the account-(ie)zip code,secret question and answer,date of birth,then yahoo can help you regardless of whether the information was changed by someone else. http://add.yahoo.com/fast/help/us/security/cgi_feedback
There are many different password stealers out there,and it doesnt necessarily mean its a virus,it could simply just be a url hack.
If you click on a link that requires a password,best thing to do is close it.If it’s a friend they’ll let you know. I’ve signed into one of those and immediatly went to change my password after i noticed it was bogus.
