Well Mattarellodelcastello, let me put it this way. You've been Cracked. Not Hacked.
One of the biggest things in yahoo is trojans and links. Over and over and over, warnings have been sent out, people telling people, the follow. 1. NEVER CLICK ON A LINK IN A ROOM, A PM BOX, OR ON YOUR FRIENDS LIST. 2. If you want to go to that page, cut and paste the link into your browser. 3. NEVER assume the yahoo sign in page is the real one, unless you typed it in. This is exactly how people get your user name and password. The web site and links, take the info that person used to sign in and their password, and it gets sent to them, and you've just lost it. Unless you know the data that you supplied when you first signed up, then you're out of luck getting it back. Yes, these people can change some of the information, but they can never DELETE the information that yahoo has when the account was originally opened. If you do know this information, then go to yahoo, (check out the files section on the left, and it will give you the info), and try getting your account back. This is not a new thing for yahoo, and they have been dealing with it for years and years. If you look in their help section under security, they will tell you everything that I have just told you. So by you trying to "complain" to yahoo and telling them what happened, they will probably tell you that you should have read the safety issues, or something like that. The key now is to try to get your account back. Good Luck, and please please NEVER NEVER NEVER click on anything, and NEVER assume the person on your friends list, is actually that person. They could have gotten their account hacked as well.
