bushrat 0 Posted June 28, 2004 Some crackhead stole my friends Yahoo ID. I know it's not a big deal, He didn't have any sensitive information in it, but one thing that gets him is that SOMEONE has access to his e-mails, and some of them were personal. Can anyone tell me how to get it back? He contacted Yahoo, and I'm not sure what answer they gave him, but they said they can't really help him. I would be really grateful if someone could help me, or tell me, how I can hack that password. If you don't belive me, E-mail me at faq_u_cops@yahoo.com and I'll get you some proof.

ryoko 0 Posted August 3, 2004 Did your friend not use his account for some time... like 3 months? If he has the free service, then there is nothing to stop yahoo from deleting an unused account and making it available. If that did happen, at least your friend does not have someone looking at his e-mail, as yahoo would have deleted it. Read their policies on that to see how long it is until an account is removed and made available. Now if someone got his password, either from a sniffer, from guessing it, or a malicious program, well then he probably is out of luck. There are programs to allow you to download your mail from yahoo to outlook, or other clients. That will not help him, but it is good advice for anyone that wants to at least backup their mail.
