Warning to Yahoo & ICQ users

Celtic, like i said, the odds of your account being info cracked are a million to 1. It is a rare way for people to steal accounts, and out of all the people who try this method, only about 1% have any success with it. And as far as securing your answer, i would suggest using spaces, i wouldn’t suggest using spaces in your password, sometimes it can mess up the account. I would suggest making it Pet’s Name? and then making up an answer that doesn’t fit the question, like you could make your answer “big blue ball” when u try to answer it, the answer isn’t case sensitive, so if u made your answer DoG, dog would work.

Oreo, i have to disagree with you once again(imagine that). Yes a few years back you could personalize your secret question, as a cracker, i prefer personalized secret questions, cause people tend to make these easier to crack, i always knew for every 20 birthdays i cracked, at least one of the ids would have a gimmie secret question, e.g. “xxxx” was one secret question, and the answer was xxxx, no one else ever figured it out, but some people would make secret questions that were reminders to their pw, i had one id ? was “WHO ARE THE DEMONS?” an i knew it was referring to an aussie rules football team, but i could not guess the secret question, so eventually i tried DEMONS for the pw and it worked, i had some other ids that i got using the same method. Another thing against personalized ?’s is that they can make ?’s with limited answers, had one id, What is my fav color?, and i had more then one that were “What’s my fav restaurant?” Always liked the ones that narrowed it down, first one i ever guessed “What is G?” answer was gang, another one was “d

The best two secret questions to create are Pet’s name? and City of Birth?

Ok, if you people wanna argue on here we can, first off, having a different zip then what u signed up with is totally understandable and i’m sure yahoo wouldn’t deactivate a name based on that alone, let’s say someone has a bogus bday on their account, hmm like in the 1800’s i would bet a lot of money i could get the name deactivated, if theres any ? about an account yahoo will ask you to fax them a photo of your drivers liscense. Even b4 that they would ask you to give them the birthday u put on your name when u signed up, and used to there was ways to look up birthdays on ids thru pay direct, but that is patched, theres a couple other ways, dunno if they patched them or not, not many people knew about em. Even if i couldn’t get a name deactivated from havin questionable info theres a dozen different ways to get ids deactivated, we been having deactivating wars in games for months now. The way i look at it one way or another everyone has violated tos.
