My yahoo mail hacked

Oh no, that's frustrating and concerning! If your Yahoo mail account has been hacked, here are some steps you can take to secure your account and prevent further unauthorized access:

  1. Change your password immediately: Go to the Yahoo sign-in page and click on "Forgot password." Follow the prompts to reset your password. Make sure to choose a strong and unique password.
  2. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA): 2FA adds an extra layer of security to your account. Go to the Yahoo Account Info page, click on "Account security," and then toggle on "Two-step verification."
  3. Review your account activity: Check your account activity to see if there have been any suspicious logins or changes made to your account. You can do this by going to the Yahoo Account Info page and clicking on "Account activity."
  4. Report the hack to Yahoo: File a report with Yahoo's security team to let them know about the hack. You can do this by going to the Yahoo Help page and clicking on "Report a security issue."
  5. Monitor your account closely: Keep a close eye on your account activity and watch for any suspicious behavior.
  6. Consider using a password manager: A password manager can help you generate and store unique, strong passwords for all your accounts, including your Yahoo mail account.
  7. Be cautious with links and attachments: Be careful when clicking on links or opening attachments from unknown senders, as they may be phishing attempts.
  8. Keep your operating system and browser up to date: Make sure your operating system and browser are updated with the latest security patches to help prevent future hacks.
  9. Use a secure connection: When accessing your Yahoo mail account, make sure you're using a secure connection (HTTPS) by looking for the "https" in the URL and a lock icon in the address bar.
  10. Consider using a third-party security tool: There are many third-party security tools available that can help you monitor and secure your online accounts, including your Yahoo mail account.

Remember to stay vigilant and monitor your account activity closely to prevent future hacks. If you're unsure about any of these steps or need further assistance, you can contact Yahoo's customer support team for help.
