   WOw, this is scary. My yahoo mail account was hacked too but I have not encountered any change in signature like you do. When I login to my account, I was greeted with a message from yahoo telling me that my password has been compromised and that I should change it immediately. Well, that’s what I did. I changed it immediately and I also used special characters. But with keyloggers and stuff like that, I think only time will tell before we will be hacked again.

     I think, all yahoo email user are urged to change their password but not all those who asked to change the password are hacked.

     It’s just unfortunate that my Yahoo email account is one of those hacked accounts.

   @Sir Sel,
   How would I know if my account was hacked too?
   The other day kasi while I was trying to sign in in YM chat, I was redirected to a web page telling me that someone is trying to use my account, and I was asked to change my password. So yun, nag change ako ng password.

   So, na hack din ba yun or what?

     as long as you have the access to your account and that there are no changes in your account’s settings, your account is not yet hacked.

     Just like what I replied at Ark’s comment above, Yahoo asked all Yahoo Email users to change their password maybe because lots of Yahoo EMail accounts were hacked and were used in spamming just like what my account experienced.

     most of the hackers and spammers are coming from China…. that’s what I realized.

     the worst thing is if your email account which is connected to your webhosting is hacked dahil nanakaw na yung email account mo, hacked pa yung blog mo.

     I already experienced that before. my selaplana@yahoo.com email was hacked by someone. And since this email is connected to my http://www.pasugo-online.com, kaya pati yung website na hacked din at na defaced, and also my personal website at geocities.com/selaplana .

   kaya dapat palaging mag-back up ng blog database, mahirap na.

     yes… that’s the best thing to do. Kaso kung yung blog mo hosted by a webhost kung saan limited yung bandwidth, maaabot agad ng web hosting account mo yung bandwidth limit kasi counted din ang bandwidth na nagagamit mo with backing up.

   hey! the worst hacking i know was asking money from your friends. I have been a victim of those hackers already. I have chatted them too.

   yesterday, while I am logging-in in my yahoo email, i saw a message which asked me to change my password because my yahoo email has been hacked by a third party and is using it to send messages to those in my address box.

   being weary about phishing attempt and all, I was hesitant at first, but as I scrutinized the message and screens that followed, it was indeed a legit yahoo warning, and my e-mail was hacked.

   who does (hudas!) these things? and why do they do it?

     I think all of the Yahoo! Email users are urged to change password. I think, lots of Yahoo Email users are victims of the hacking for spamming.

    this can also happen if the password you use to signup to online services is the same with the one you use on your emails. the owners of those websites can easily steal your identity if you use the same passwords in your online accounts. just a tip because I’ve already encountered some sites that do this. What more if that password is also your Paypal password?!

      it’s a good tip. Before replying your comment, I changed first the password of my other email because the said password is used in my other online accounts.

      Thanks for the tip….

      shucks yan nga ung nangyari sakin… napasok ng hacker ung paypal ko, pero I’m glad that naretrieve ko ung account ko. Nagemail din ako sa paypal eh nung time na di ko na makuha ung paypal ko, buti at di ako tanga… nakuha ko rin after 30minutes ung mga accounts ko. di naman ako nadisappoint sa paypal kasi nagemail din sila after 1-2days… nung time na un, about sa nangyari dun sa account ko.

      oo nga… mahirap na baka yung hacker ay hindi lamang gagamitin ang email in spamming kundi, i-change pa ang password.

    naku, that’s very unfortunate sir Sel. Hackers are everywhere online. I watched a CNN news video the other day about hackers; nagtest sila with a credit card, where a woman will order things online. After 15 minutes, na hack na ung card nya – nag order yung hacker ng 15 boxes of pizza. Damn.

    waah kuya same tayo, pero wala akong ganyang emails na nareceived. actually, I’m suspecting someone pero ewan mali ata hinala ko dahil parang pinoy na taga Pinas ang gumawa eh. Pero ewan ko, i’m not 100% sure, all my accounts were hacked. Take note, pati ung Paypal ko, chinanged nya ung password ko kaya di ako makapasok… I’m glad na narecover ko lahat ng accounts ko. HOW? basta sakin nalang un, mahirap na dahil baka may yknow nagmamasid na hackers dyan somewhere.

    Nga pla bale napasok nya rin ung paypal ko, biruin mo ung sinend nya ung balance funds ko sa email ata nya. how po ba matrace ung email address? un lang kc ang nakuha kong evidence, since un ang gamit nyang email address para makuha ung pera ko sa paypal. paano kaya matrace un? kung saan nakalocate, or baka matrace din IP address nya baka sakaling may blogs siya, ng mapahiya natin.

    Hi friend..you should check your system for malware,spyware and other threats.
    i suspect that the hacker used a web based hacking technique..where like you visit a website but on the background the website is silently changing your email settings while you are logged in in your yahoo from your browser. and they are automaticaly using the cookie from your live yahoo sessions..

      I think the IP that you get is not really from a legit ISP… Sa tingin ko, we better secure na lang our emails by:

      1. change the password
      2. clean the PC that you’re using baka kasi yung mga spywares na nandyan sa PC mo ang dahilan kung bakit nahack yung email. mo.
      3. don’t ever download any files or attachment na hindi mo alam kung saan galing…
      4. don’t evern give your personal info to anyone or any websites na hindi ka sigurado…
