Rupom Here

Yesterday I got my Yahoo primary account hacked by someone. I don’t know who may be the culprit. It’s not a hacking but a thiefing in one sense. Because, someone sent an account deactivation request to Yahoo stating that “I want to deactivate my Yahoo account”. Yahoo, then without seeing the mail header just started to process it to deactivate. When I was trying to log into the account, it was saying “Your Account is No Longer Active”. I just got myself thundered, what happened !! Then Yahoo gave me the account back but with no messages stored there.

SMTP does not care about the sender address, hence people can send mails on behalf of anyone using PHP or other programming. But Yahoo! can authenticate mailing within Yahoo Users keeping track of Yahoo users’ mail sending status.

I am trying to get my account information back. Hope I will.
Friends, pray for me.
