Spammed yahoo email account
I'm so sorry to hear that your Yahoo email account has been spammed!
Spamming can be frustrating and overwhelming, especially when it's your personal email account. Here are some steps you can take to help minimize the impact and get your account back to normal:
- Report the spam: Yahoo has a built-in reporting feature that allows you to mark emails as spam. You can do this by clicking on the "Report Spam" button at the top of the email. This will help Yahoo's algorithms learn to recognize similar emails as spam in the future.
- Mark as junk: You can also mark the spam emails as "Junk" by clicking on the "Junk" button at the top of the email. This will move the email to your Junk folder, where you can delete it.
- Delete the spam: Once you've reported or marked the spam emails, you can delete them to free up space in your inbox.
- Change your password: It's a good idea to change your Yahoo password to a strong, unique one to prevent any potential security breaches.
- Enable two-factor authentication: Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your account by requiring you to enter a verification code sent to your phone or another device in addition to your password.
- Use a spam filter: Yahoo offers a built-in spam filter that can help block spam emails from reaching your inbox. You can enable this feature by going to your account settings and looking for the "Spam" or "Junk" filter option.
- Consider using a third-party spam filter: There are many third-party spam filters available that can help block spam emails from reaching your inbox. Some popular options include SpamAssassin, SpamSieve, and SpamFilter.
Remember to always be cautious when clicking on links or downloading attachments from unknown senders, as these can be common tactics used by spammers.
I hope these steps help you get your Yahoo email account back to normal!
