Hello,

I am not sure if you were a victim of phishing. I lost my password through [url]http://geocities.com/pics_of_my_vacation_2006[/url] that came in from a friend in Yahoo Messenger. Coming from a friend, and seeing a yahoo password entry screen I carelessly gave my password away. How would geocities allow this I am amazed.

I sent several abuse notifications to Geocities and now this site is pulled down. It took them two days, during the time which I am sure several people would have already lost their passwords.

I emailed yahoo security a few times and now have a response back. I don't remember exactly what my secret answer is because it is now 8 years since I registered the account. Yahoo is unable to help becuase they don't have *all* the answers they want. Its a shame I cannot access my own emails and the hacker is using it to see what some photos of my family? I am losing my sleep because of all this.

Hope Yahoo can help me at least by disabling the account or allow me to reset my password by sending instructions to my *original* alternate address.

Sorry to rant what happened to me without doing much to help you. I suggest that you reply to those automated responses as much as you can until they notice (as some other member suggests). I did the same and got a reply back. Perhaps you remember the answer to all their security questions.
