| | Just wanted to let everyone now that my Yahoo account was high jacked. So if you get any mail from Raistlin_the_sage@yahoo.com or anyone trying to contact you through IM it's not me. If anyone knows how i can crack the password that it was changed to it would be helpful. I have my resume posted on there and I get my gas bill mailed to that account and I don't like having that info out there. I've contacted yahoo and keep getting canned responses. | |

I know probably you do not want to hear this but nothing important should go to FREE email accounts. | |

| | Thanks glumag, after checking it out it tracks back to an ISP in Buenos Aires. I found the company's web site and sent them and e-mail, doubt I'll ever hear back from them about it..... | |

yup, do not expect any action to be taken on their part. I am glad you got your account back. Use alphanumeric 12 digit passwords at the least. | |

You mean I can't just use my SSN as my password? [:p]

| | I though the password I had on it was good enough it was 768765glj, but it got hacked anyways, I switch to using caps, lower case, numbers and punctuations now, so I hope it harder to crack now. | |

| | Another note. The IP address that changed your password may not of been the person responbile. IE more likley was a hacked computer itself. | |

The two occurrances of '76' didn't help. If you want a password to be damn hard to crack, avoid repeats -- especially numbers. | |
