This has happened to me before. It's quite a pain to set things right with the
various lists one might belong to...
But I don't think the problem with Yahoo has much to do with whether one's
passwords are insecure or weak. I had a secure and strong password and I had
the problem. Occasionally hackers can break into Yahoo (and other e-mail
systems) and steal IDs and passwords, no matter how strong and secure the
passwords might be. The key here is to change your password on a regular basis.

Folks,
Recently a string of subscribers using YAHOO accounts have had their accounts
hacked. This has prompted Peter and I to remind all of our members who use
YAHOO to make sure your passwords are secure and strong.
To change your password at YAHOO here's how:

To make sure your new password is a secure, strong password, check this out:
