This is what I received in my personal mail yesterday from Yahoo. Yahoo alert mail says someone was attempting to open my yahoo mail "We detected a login attempt with valid password to your Yahoo! account from an unrecognized device on Sat, Mar 16, 2013 4:34 PM MYT."
And it was from other country. Then I received some returned mailed in my inbox.
I immediately change my password and make it more complicated. I went to my log in activity and saw that activity. Am I got hacked, what the. How that can be? Is our online stuff are really safe from hackers even though we do have complicated passwords. Why did they have to do that, for what? It was my first time to get such alert from yahoo like this.
Do you have the same experienced?
I hope it would be the last time and no more next.

I also have my email adress with Yahoo for a long time now, but I never had such a message. Of course, we have to be always careful and try to use difficult passwords which cannot be hacked.

I been member of yahoo for quite long time as well and it was my first time to get this kind of mail and encountered this kindof situation which is quite alarming the fact that they might get some personal mail. We really have to be careful enough and making difficult password that hackers might had difficult time to know. Regular changing of password should be done as well.
