Poll of the Day > i had a yahoo account hacked.

(+) Yeah! (+)

anywhere from earlier this year to a year prior, because earlier this year i tried getting on it and it wouldn't let me. i hadn't used it in a whole year or so prior, but wanted to use it to access another account on it.

anyways i was wondering would anything come of it in the future like other accounts getting hacked, or has it been to long? i don't have any credit card or any sort of money online. my main concern would be my PSN account as i have lots of games on it.

with that yahoo account i had my gamestop account on it and my main AOL email as a recovery email, those were the two things linked to it and both were untouched. since then i've changed my gamestop information and on my main email i changed my recovery email to a different one. not sure if my main email is still on the yahoo one though even though i changed it on my AOL one to not be associated with it.

its been so long but sometimes i get anxiety over it.

If you contact Yahoo, they'll sometimes get you in there or at least deactivate it if you can supply them older passwords.

Didn't they have like half a billion accounts get hacked? Honestly I think if you didn't get your Yahoo account hacked it's a surprise

Yahoo doesn't get hacked, they just get logged into

Also who the fuck doesn't have any sort of online banking or PayPal or even a debit card? Do your parents just buy you everything?

@GanglyKhan

do you have to call or would you be able to contact them directly from the site? i would definitely prefer the account be deactivated at this point as i have no use for it.

Just e-mail their support with your question and see where they can go from there. Last time I did something like that was years ago, so policy may have changed, but it's worth a go.

All of Ymail got hacked a year or two ago ("The Latest Yahoo hack is rated "E" for "Everybody""), at which point you were supposed to change your passwords. I still haven't got around to doing it for a lot of my less important accounts. I *should* move from the platform entirely at some point.
