If someone has hacked your account, change your password IMMEDIATELY. Here is the 'change password' help page:





Q: How do I change my password?





A: If you would like to change your Yahoo! password, just sign in to your Yahoo! account with your current password and click the Account Info or My Account link at the top of the page. You will be asked to re-enter your current password for verification. Then:





Click the "Change Password" link.


Enter your current password in the first box.


Enter your new password (as you would like it to be) in the second box.


Confirm your new password in the third box.


Click the "Save" button.


Your Yahoo! password will always apply to your entire Yahoo! account. This means that it will be valid not only for Yahoo! Mail, but also for Yahoo! Messenger, Yahoo! Chat, My Yahoo!, Yahoo! Finance, and all of Yahoo!'s other personalized services.





Please Note: To better protect your account, make sure that your password is memorable for you but difficult for others to guess. Never use the same password that you have used in the past, and do not share your password with anyone. For security purposes, your new password must be a minimum of six characters long. A good password contains a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters (remember that your password is case sensitive), numbers, and special characters such as +, ?, and *.
Reply:I'm guessing that mommercer@yahoo.com is someone else's account. ;-)





What do you mean you can't receive email? Can you log into your Yahoo account? If so, are you saying that if someone sends you email, it just never arrives?
Reply:It's possible that someone just sent you "tracking cookies" that prevent your e-mail accounts from recognizing your password, so you cant enter. This is not dangerous, just really annoying. It's not impossible, but very unlikely someone actually hacked you and has access to your personal information. Probably they dont even know your passwords, they can just block them. So, if you use a virus and cookie scan and delete the tracking cookies it will detect you should be fine. You can google for free scans to download and use more just to make sure. And you should make sure to go into your internet options and delete your temporary files and cookies, it can do no harm, just an additional security measure.
