I'm pretty sure you can just switch Gmail back to the old compose mail format. On the window, in the bottom right corner, there's a little arrow menu; clicking that brings up an option to "Temporarily switch back to old compose".

I don't know how long they'll let you use old compose, but you might as well milk as much out of the old system as possible if you really like it that much I know I set mine up that way. The A. Well I am now adding my name to the list! I was hacked on my yahoo email account yesterday! I must say my password was not to break and yes from time to time I access my mail from a phone but hey I should be able to do that and not be hacked!

I have run a full virus check and come up with nothing! I am going to move over to g mail the only problem is I will have to transfer all my Amazon, iTunes and bank accounts which is a lot of hassle! Just installed it 3 days ago … and removed it today! All my contacts have been sent emails. I had friends calling the whole day, since the message in the email very badly google translated was calling for help and money.

Very embarassing. I manage to change the password, but lost all my contacts!!!! My problem is that my account was hacked by a so called friend, he also hacked my bank accounts and stole money!

In the process of hacking my account he changed all my security questions. I have been in contact with yahoo via a live agent. Unfortunately I have been unable to re-gain access to my account as I am unable to answer the changed security questions!

My e-mail address is important as I have contacts from all over the world and now can not contact them. Needless to say I have not been able to get any information from the so-called friend who hacked my account even after he was prosecuted for hacking my bank details and stealing money!

Did you file a police report or anything of that nature? If you have some official document that details the crime you might be able to convince Yahoo! This is such a helpful piece, so can I offer my congrats to all?

Really good to find this after I too joined the club this morning. This is a great thread, one of the best I could find discussing this topic. I was hijacked last week, the second time after once about two years ago. I have also received spam emails from other friends who have been hijacked for a couple years. This thread is the first info that provides clear lead to what actually has been going on. Looking up my login activity, I found four logins over a two-day span, two listing Colombia, two listing Japan, all through Yahoo!

I do use the iPad2 mail app with Yahoo as the default mail program, rather than my work GMail account. The good news, if you can call it that, is that Yahoo appears to have at least, kinda, sorta, addressed the problem, because I received an error message that my account login had been compromised and requiring me to reset my password. It did let me do a successful reset, and the spamming stopped. That would be good news, particularly since your situation mirrors those of so many others here. Thanks again and all the best.

Does anyone know how to actually get in touch with Yahoo? I have tried to go through Customer Care with no luck, I received a generated message. I finally found where you could view your activity log on Yahoo and BAM! I live in IL, he lives in WI….. Is there any way to get a copy of my activity log for the past few months. They are not guessing your passwords or sniffing packets on mobile networks or stealing cookies.

Once they are inside the servers as super users they can do anything they want: primarily search for accounts that have juicy address books and spam those addresses with phishing mail. They could even have installed code that runs at the time you set a new password, to record the one you just entered. The culprits could either be hackers who penetrated via their own means. Or perhaps more likely: one of the hundreds of Yahoo programmers fired in layoffs was looking for a neat way to backstab the company and gave out the details on hacker nets.

If you need to, maintain a minimal forwarding account to GMail. I unfortunately use Yahoo Discussion Group services, so will have to keep my account for that access.

Again, a long time yahoo user for mucho years who just got hacked. Technical support said there was no way to do that and I could find nothing in my account information.

Ran multiple virus scan and malware tools Changed password Added sign-in picture at login only applies to the device I log in from Deleted mobile yahoo messenger very used it. Is it coincidental to all these hacks that ATT Yahoo has disabled the login activity option in my account profile!!! I now have no accounts and cannot directly contact Yahoo to see what can be done now.

I have lost my email account, contact addresses yes my fault, I should have made copies of them — I did for some as well my Facebook account. Annoyingly, it takes time to start from scratch to rebuild what I had. The email address I have submitted is for the account I have lost.

Situations that seem all too common. How they got in was through a security hole in messenger that lets them remotely control the sending of email. From the Philippines. They were in and seemingly out in less than two minutes — I am guessing a bot. I would suggest removing yahoo messenger from the yahoo email side bar for your ATT account and disabling it on the non ATT account it cannot be removed from the non ATT account.

JB — yahoo has blocked my hacked userid from access to the login activity via the link you sent!! Block all users not in my Contact List. I will not be able to send or receive messages from users not in my Contact List. When you change passwords, I recommend changing the password from another secure computer from a different location.

Make sure you do not save your password on the computer! Oh, the kindness of strangers! I want to thank you for your continuing assistance to those dealing with this issue. I really appreciate your efforts and I know many others do as well. One computer guy suggested it, another said only my email was hijacked so it did not impact my computer. Thanks AJ, so glad I found this page.

I would never have known about the Recent Activity page in Yahoo mail. Another with-yahoo-from-the-start user, now in Athens Greece. Perhaps Yahoo are trying to make their service so poor that it will well fit with other products when it is eventually bought up by Microsoft. Most of the new-improved version changes are eye candy that I am not interested in. My account was hacked on 30th Nov, , from Japan supposedly, while I was logged out.

It came to my notice from a helpful friend. I discovered that my contacts had been sent an email with a supposed link which turned out to be a trojan! I was hacked via Yahoo!

Sadly I too have many old messages in my mailbox and will also now have to go through them all to see if there are any that have delicate matter in them. I have a running notification for a digital magazine subscription that arrives with both my username and password to access the mag in it. Despite my repeated complaints about this, no changes have been made to that yet. I also use my account for work — no longer!

Will have to go over to the Windows Live Mail for that which I have been avoiding like the plague! Sorry to hear that everyone is having this problem. All which accessed my account from Yahoo Mobile. I logged in from my laptop and lo and behold yahoo had blocked my account as they suspected that my account was hacked. All I had to do was change my password. Unfortunetly my account was hacked again in less than a week.

I strongly believe that my account was hacked from apps that are on my phone but i have no idea from which one.

I dont have any games or other apps with ads. THe only app ive downloaded is a walgreens app but its hard to believe that was the cause. I just came to the conclusion that phones are not a safe way to do anything anymore. I recently heard on the news that malls were tracking peoples every move to see the trend of the stores they went into. Also just today I read somewhere that cell conversations were being tapped into. Good Luck to all of you! My computer crashed a few weeks ago and I had to wipe everything and reinstall windows 7 from scratch.

Glad I found this website. Turned out to be spam from some rogue site in Argentina! I have since closed down my yahoo! They really need to get this sorted, as it appears to be happening to far too many people. I too got hacked just the other day. Same access type via Messenger authentication, someone accessed it from Brazil!!!

Got onto Yahoo support and had no joy, just script reading and i may got a virus which i have NOT, must be an inside job? Me too… At first I thought my droid tablet was the culprit, but I do not access Yahoo mail from it. It seems all these different countries cited as source of invasion are just IP spoofing. Been Y user for so long… I almost never accessed my Yahoo account directly, as it was mainly an email forwarder to Gmail.

Good luck from Brazil. I was also going to wipe out my disk because a lot of websites were using my hard drive for storage. Fortunately last week when I upgraded my operating system, it looks like a lot of the the storage hogs were eliminated. I actually gained 4GB of storage when I upgraded. Now my settings do not allow websites to use my hard drive for storage. Something just happened to me. I do surf the web with it, plus facebook.

I too have been with Yahoo! I had only checked my email on my Droid mobil app and from my ipad. Is that correct? Should I disable my emails from my Droid phone? My yahoo account which I have established in got hacked few months back and sent spam email to all my contacts. Annoying as this is, I cleaned everything I could and I keep changing password almost every week.

My account has not been sending spam anymore. Do I have some ticking time bomb here? How can they find out my password if it is being constantly changed? I had 2 GMail accounts for over 5 years and they were hacked 2 months ago.

One email I could not retrieve access to but the other I did so I decided to keep it, delete all my contacts and emails within it and monitor it after changing my password, security question and enabling the 2 step verification feature. Also, I accessed my email via phone using the mail application, which I understand now may have been a problem. As a further precaution, I created a Yahoo! So, I had put all this behind me, monitoring activity ever so often but overall I thought I was ok.

So I turned those feature off yesterday after logging off of all sessions, changing my password, security question… Does anyone have any other suggestions as to what else I should deactivate or look into?

The hacker is doing nothing more than being a voyeur from what I can tell …either that or lying in wait to use the credit card info that USED to arrive to that email. I realize this is a mostly Yahoo! Regarding my Yahoo! Sadly, it is reassuring to see so many others have encountered this. My problem is I actually have the hackers email! He lives in India and says he was helping his Dad he said his Dads account was one letter off from mine and could not remember it. He apologized and said it would not happen again.

However, when I try to reset it says it will send the password to MY email, but the email is the hackers. How on earth does this even happen? I have had Yahoo! The same dude has gotten into my gmail too. I need your help!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a yahoo mail. Since Sunday my recent login account information are not getting updated. If any one knows how to solve problem please tell me. I do not know what to do or how to fix the problem to get updated login activities. Yahoo customer care was not much of help.

This is Bill, who posted back in mid-November about a Yahoo hack. I just got a message from a friend tonight, whose GMail account was hacked and sent spam to his contact list. Hi my yahoo email was hacked two months ago and I just found it two weeks ago. I changed the password but the recent activities is not working?.

I can not see my recent login records. Remember all those Sony accounts that were hacked last year? Within 12 hours of replying, the phisher has sent an email to all of their contacts with a story about being in a foreign country and in need of money to get home. The phisher had also deleted the contacts and all email. Transcript of live chat follows;. Please wait for a Yahoo!

Have a great day. I am having the same problem with my account and my husbands account. Our last login activity shows as December 8th. I emailed yahoo and have not yet received a reply.

I was chatting with someone today who works in electronics department and their gmail had same issue. The downside is time spent deleting the added keystroke when you do send out email to those contacts. Just food for thought, there might be a way to shoot holes in this as I have been tossing it around in my mind but not yet put it to the test.

I had some of the fake email addresses return to my in box when I put a vacation message up advising temp. I am being cyberharassed, and I believe the person harassing me was able to hack into my Yahoo account. I woke up this morning to my password changed and a large portion of my email deleted.

I believe it is this person due to the specific folder that was not only wiped clean of email, but completely deleted. Thankfully I realized what had happened quickly, and Yahoo was able to restore my deleted information.

My question is…What can Yahoo do to help me catch this person? Very personal, and potentially damaging information was accessed and I feel completely violated. What good does that do me right now? I am terrified this person will hack into my account and do the same thing again. I have done my best to secure my account at this point. I am unsure of what else I can do? I have noticed over the past couple of months that Yahoo has not been functioning properly.

Yesterday was the deal breaker. After many years of email, my yahoo accounts will be closed and Yahoo will never see my IP again. Sad to see a giant wasted by the inability of the people at the top to let the site evolve and grow. Typical of U. Hackers sent messages to everyone in my inbox. All have been warned — hopefully not too late. I want to complain against him and as well as i want to locked her account on deadly priority. Now please rply me asap.

Follow the Yahoo! Email Abuse Help link at the top of this post so you can contact Yahoo directly about your problem. Is it in my browser, instead? I hope this helps. I changed the password again and wish they would fix their security breach issues. Just found this blog as my yahoo account was recently hacked and my contacts were spammed like most of us here. Also, I see some posters could see their hackers locations like Romania, Peru, etc. My log only shows my log in location….

Any ideas? If it was the same IP address then it was someone in your home or someone who had access to your network; if it was a different IP address then it was someone who lives in the same geographical area as you. Never noticed the selection choice, thanks for sharing. I have an account with yahoo and used to leave comments but I can no longer leave,and only from one computer.

I am perfectly ble from other computers. Could someone or yahoo have attach something just for my computer? Waldo — It sounds as though Yahoo! This would explain why the other computers still work. I would contact Yahoo! Also, Yahoo! Messenger would be an example of something you would have to opt into downloading. Good luck! Here we go again.

Unfortunately for them my secret questions are rather difficult. This is really starting to tick me off. No IP record. Yep, it happened to me too.. A week or so earlier, I received an email from Zappos. Some of us carry some personal info in their saved email.. So you may want to think about setting up some fraud alerts with the credit agencies. I have the following question, hopefully somebody can answer from experience.

I am switching to gmail, they offer to "connect to an existing account", should I connect to my yahoo account since its been hacked? It would be so easy to attach the 2 for the address book and message forwarding, but i will not do it if it will make my gmail account susceptible to being hacked. Vietnam email spoofing. They have my contact list. I cannot find how to change my password in Yahoo mail classic.

If you know how to do this email me please. Your estimated wait time is 0 minutes, 1 seconds. Summer: In my understanding, you think that your account has been compromised. Am I right, Mark? Mark: yES. Summer: Thank you for the confirmation. Mark: mwatson16 yahoo.

Summer: Thanks for the information. P address was the exact same as my Motorola Defy. This can sometimes be a different location than what you are normally based in. Summer: As such, you may see login activity that you may feel is suspicious. However, it could still be your own login activity. Mark: I did have an iphone though, so it might just be from there. Summer: If you believe somebody is accessing your Yahoo! Summer: Change your password.

Summer: We strongly recommend that you change your account password to a strong one. Companies will be under no obligation to fix the security holes they discover in their systems, and the risk of costly litigation that has been an effective motivation to address such issues in the past will be lifted. This Machiavellian turn all but guarantees the sharing of more information with the government, not less, purely in the interest of self-preservation. The more a company shares, the more it's protected.

Mark Zuckerberg would be an idiot not to sign up. While corporations would make out like gangbusters if the bill passes in Congress, the public will end up screwed-and not just out of its privacy. The municipal power grids and water treatment plants that make up our aging national infrastructure hardly get a mention, even though they are by far the weakest link in the cyber-security chain, having evolved in a patchwork over decades when hackers were less threatening than migrating salmon.

And whereas President Obama's recent executive order on cyber security authorizes federal agencies to share critical information with industries that the government deems vital to public safety and not the other way around , CISPA treats these entities the same as it does Tumblr. To fix the system, "it's going cost a lot of money and it's going to be very inconvenient," says Richard Forno "For the past 20 years we've essentially moved at the speed of the Internet, kept deploying more and more stuff and become more and more dependent on that stuff that's built on a flawed foundation.

The Federal Reserve does this for its interbank money transfers-perhaps our most critical non-economic resources should too. CISPA is tentatively scheduled for a house vote this month, and if history is any guide, there's reason for concern. After threatening a veto last year, the White House has been conspicuously quiet this time around; Obama's cyber chief Michael Daniel recently called cyber security and privacy "two sides of the same coin"-an ominous or encouraging remark depending on how you interpret it.

The Senate has its own bill in committee, one that takes a "more measured approach" to the issue, according to Michelle Richardson at the ACLU. That bill at least requires companies to make "reasonable efforts" to remove personal data from the information they share with the government-a promise that rings a bit hollow when one realizes it's exactly that personal information the government is likely to be the most interested in getting its hands on.

But more than a decade after the passage of the Patriot Act, Congress is still missing the point-transfixed by the siren song of universal intelligence at the expense of all else, not the least common sense. That our power substations and aqueducts and water treatment plants reside on the same global communication network as Russian botnets and Chinese cyber spies is an issue that has no bearing on civil liberties, and one that might actually make a difference to national security.
