How can we improve Yahoo Member Center?

← Member Center

It would be helpful to be able to BLOCK a user that hacked into my account from the Recent Activity screen

add "Block" button to Recent Activity page so unrecognized/hacker can be blocked from further attempts to hack into one's Yahoo account.

    I received emails from Yahoo to let me know that my account data, etc. was requested to be downloaded from my account ToddHoss525@yahoo.com For the record, that wasn't me that made that request to Yahoo. I believe it was a former disgruntled ex-employee of mine Named John P. Nagle,Jr. who has had an account with you before "Equityman2@yahoo.com .A friend of mine, Robert Smith has had the same thing happen to him recently and deleted his Yahoo account *******ismydestiny@Yahoo.com.. He uses my computers and cause me for concern. I hope Yahoo can IMMEDIATELY cancel any suspicious requests that my email account data, etc. NEVER take place. I can be reached tomorrow on my cell phone at 425-405-8270 regarding this matter.
    I'm sorry but due to these apparent breaches, I have no choice but to cancel my Yahoo account as well.

    Respectfully,
    Todd A. Hoss

    most of my contacts have been sent emails by a hacker pretending to be me. and asking for money.
    Also if I try to send emails now it says on the screen that a reply would go to trouttpool@ gmail.com which I presume is the hacker. How do I stop this

    My yahoo email account was hacked yesterday and I have still not been able to successfully change it. I can access and respond to emails from my yahoo.com access but cannot respond from my email through IOS

    Totally agree!

    I'm saying this, 'coz my previous yahoo mail was hacked by someone who confessed a programmer. He/She sent me a personal message to my yahoo mail.
    He said no longer bother me if I can give him $500 worth of bitcoins in his wallet. During last 3 weeks i've already change my password 5 times! I found some unrecognized message on my draft and sent folder yahoo mail. Almost 50 messages that I should remove/delete it every day. Someone using my yahoo email address to subscribe some apps (tinder, amazon, etc) which I never did register it. It's annoyed me so much!

    @yahoo admin, pls help
    Thanks!

    I am getting ton of spams daily, making me sick. I changed my password several times it did not help, seems like my email is hacked. you should do something about it.
    Also you should have a block option to end all hackers.

    Absolutely! And those hyperlinks in the emails. Recent Activity has unusual suspicious hackers logging into our personal accounts without sending US notifications, warnings, or verifications of any kind. Password changed.

    Get with it Y!

    Yahoo doesn't care about security. Best to not use it as a legit service provider and for the love of God don't ever pay them money for anything. The real problem is the company keeps getting sold to different parent companies that refuse to fire the dead weight so the bad employees especially the ones in the Product Support team that moderate these boards keep staying employed.
