ive broken into yahoo accounts in the past … as long as you know what zipcode someone is in and some other basic info on them is … its not to hard … at least it wasnt a while ago i hate anything online that allows you to reset your password with simple questions like “where were you born” and whats your pets name" the one i remember breaking into was “whats your favorite sports team” … and that person made that answer sooooo easy … he/she talked about the games they had gone too … their yahoo fantasy team ect ect i dont use real answers for those types of questions, making it impossible to guess …something as simple as B1U2F3F4A5L6O B1I2L3L4S makes it impossible to guess even if they know the right answer ---

well thats the thing, i know how simple it is to guess that shit if you know the person so i used a fake zip code and a random answer to the question that had nothing to do with it. So i’ll be damned if i know how the fuck they got my password. But everything has been changed and i emailed yahoo twice about it. All i got was their stupid automated response of “thanks we will look into it”.
