Yahoo account hacking.

[Phemar]

Ok how many of you have had your accounts stolen?

Apparently there's this thing going around which leads you to some GeoCities website (which belongs to yahoo so I see how some people can be fooled) which then asks you for your username and password, saves it then logs you out and changes all your personal information and sends an email to all your contacts telling them to do the same.

I personally don't use Yahoo but both my parents do and both of them have been victim to this scam. I know my mom is pretty devastated because she kept a lot of stuff in her inbox, and all her contacts etc.

Is there any way to rectify this? Will Yahoo do anything about getting the appropriate accounts back to their rightful owners?

Please help!
