yahoo security not the best

[pellaz]

in the past i have had issues with my yahoo email account. Changing the password was the fix but i wonder how bad it really is? Any of you guys have experienced this?

I had some strange things happen to my email account on yahoo probably about 6 months ago. There were some things saved in the drafts to a few people that I didn't start. I can't remember what it was about though. It freaked me out so I changed my password and haven't had an issue since.

I suspect that (once) my email through Yahoo had been compromised, a lot of people emailed me telling me to stop sending them spam. I changed my password immediately and there was no more complaints.

I used to be a yahoo user years ago, but I stopped using that account, changed the password to some god awfully long thing, emptied my address book, dropped messenger and moved to Gmail and Google products.

I no longer use Yahoo search engine using Ask.com instead or of course Google.

I no longer use email accounts address books. I have a separate document that I use, copy and paste addresses from. They can hijack my account, but I have no contacts for them to spam or send out viruses too.

I had the same with hotmail recently so switched to Google.
