Jesus! Is everyone's Yahoo getting hacked?

What other site besides Yahoo is good for emails? I hear Hotmail is not good at all either.

I had gotten email saying that they were switching over to a new system. Are you sure you weren't having troubles due to that.

Hopefully this new one will be safer.

I hate that new preview thing. I logged on and saw my inbox was small as hell because the preview thing was taking up half the screen. ******* made it slow as hell to scroll through

Been using Gmail for over 5 yrs and is my primary email account. Got locked out once since I forgot my password and forgot my security answer too but they had some other options to reset my password. No problems since!

I've had a yahoo account for 14 years and I've never had a problem. I just think they all can have security problems. If someone really wants to get into it, they'll find a way.

Yahoo will block me out every 2 weeks and I have to reload my password.

It's a good idea to sign out of every webpage or online account that you're on when you're done.

No, someone was actually in my account sending out weird **** to my contacts.

What's sad is, there are websites that actually allow them to do it. You can you anyone's email address and send out mass mailings to people. That's how I used to get emails from myself years ago.

I said this before but I know Hot Topic probably gave my email account to spammers because as soon as I joined Hottopic.com I started getting fake ads for credit cards, make up and airplane tickets. I get like 10 messages a day.

That's what I usually do. I've seen a lot of people just close the window without logging/signing out or they forget to uncheck the 'keep me logged in' tickbox. Dunno how but I think that negligence can be exploited.

I win like, 10 lotteries/sweepstakes/cash prize contests in a day. They ask me for my personal and financial details to claim the prize and I promptly provide the same. Afterall, Chevrolet, Coca-Cola, ESPN, Vodafone, BP etc are trustworthy companies. They won't scam me. If anyone needs some extra cash, please let me know; I'll forward them. :
