How to precent email hacking and emails getting deleted?

Hi,


my father lately is experiencing problems with his yahoo account. periodically, his passwords get changed such that he cannot log in with the password he had set and when he retrieves a new password and logs in, he notices that all his mails in his inbox, sent folder, spam and trash folders are deleted. its like almost having a new account. I am guessing someone hsomehow is hacking his account repeatedly. Is there any way to find out who does it or why is it happening and more importantly a way to prevent this from happening?

yo, {get ready to rummble(with the hacker)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...





its long but worth it,





Creative passwords and password retrieval questions :


Apart from not using personal information as your password or answers to retrieve your password, make sure that you use a password that combines letters, numbers and symbols. It is also a good idea to incorporate capital and small letters instead of merely using all caps or all small letters. This increases the number of combinations that a hacker would need to decipher, lowering his or her chances to access your account. With regards to your password retrieval, do not use actual information. Instead, provide information that you would be able to remember yet something that is unrelated to you since the first few tries of a hacker will be to use accurate and actual information regarding you to retrieve your password.





Do not leave important emails in your mailbox :


The moment you receive a confirmation letter from a website where you have signed up, print out the information or write it down on a notepad and delete the email immediately. This would ensure that no personal information would be derived directly from your email whether by a hacker or a close friend.





Change password regularly :


Make sure that you change your passwords and answers to retrieve your password information on a regular basis. This is to ensure that by the time that a hacker has been able to decipher your old password you are now using a different password which would then cause them to go back to square one. This is particularly important if you have allowed someone to access your email or other account with your permission to prevent the possibility of them accessing your accounts without your consent in the future.





dont open e-mails from unknown senders(spam!)





dont give any sites your password ever (think about it, why do thay need it to send you usomething!)





e-mails with a sites attaced to it:


1)yahoo search the site to see if it exists(site can be fake and redirect you)


2)see if it comes up harmfull on yahoo search engine


3)turn pop up blocker on high and security level on high and enter site if o.k.


4)if sites ok lower the security a bit.
