Is it possible that yahoo email passwords can be stolen by another user?

i suspect my email addresses were hacked..i checked the yahoo profiles and both of them says invalid, no picture/profile shown..i cannot even log in anymore..it says my password was invalid, funny cuz the last time i logged in was last week... then even my geocities website, yahoo photos and most of all the emails are all gone.. they were both terminated without my knowledge and my doing... is this possible to happen? can email account really be terminated by another user from another country who didn't know ur password?

Is it possible that yahoo email passwords can be stolen by another user?
If it is email -- Email is deactivated after a non use period of 4 months , once deactivated everything in the email is lost To reactivate follow the prompts when you login to email. To stop email from being deactivated, make sure you use it.





Primary accounts/main are NOT deactivated for a non use period





NO your account cannot be deactivated by another user. Yahoo deactivates accounts.





Your account can be deleted by another user but only if they have the password. Without the password it cannot be deleted.





If you run a booter ..spamm..... violate the law ... cuss or abuse chatters among other things ... and Yahoo receives and abuse report ... and RECEIVES A COPY OF THE PAST CHAT SESSION (SCREEN SHOT) , Yahoo has the USA courts legal permission to deactivated or ban accounts.


minor banns can last for 8 hours.........others years..most times it is only the ID that is banned........ for major violations it is an IP bann and deactivation of all accounts.





If it is a main primary account that has been deactivate -- it has been deactivated by Yahoo, and no chance of getting it back.





When we click that we accept Yahoo's terms of service we accept the fact that Yahoo owns all these IDs , and can do with them as they please, not us.
Reply:The answer to your question is YES. If you've been chatting a fairly long time to someone, very likely you've shared personal information with them, and they've perhaps been able to figure out your password. When they have your password, Yahoo thinks it's you signing in. And YES a person from another country CAN access your email account and terminate it. Again, all they need is the password. You may have accidentally left Messenger open, thus allowing anyone to get into your email account.


What you've experienced is so very common. Last week, if you suspected that something 'wasn't quite right' when you attempted to sign in, then you should have changed your password, and maybe some other information in the account. Likely as not, Yahoo will ask you if you tried to make your account more secure by changing things when your were first suspicious and if you haven't, they may suggest the fault is YOURS, and quite frankly, it is. We're all responsible for the security of our accounts.


My best advice to you would be to move on. Open another email account and secure it as best as possible. Do NOT share the password or any other information pertaining to the account with anyone. NOT ANYBODY!! Good luck.
Reply:Stolen yes, without password, no.





1. Report your suspicions to yahoo immediately.


2. Get your computer scanned for spyware. You may have a key logger on your computer, or you may have been phished by a phony log-in page.





I have included a direct link to Yahoo's what to do.


Good Luck!
