Y! Messenger - AfroChat - African American

I've had my i.d. stolen in the past. But before it was on me, I signed in on a site that steals your pw n' the rest is history. I'd clicked on a link (sent by a contact on my list..who wasn't really the contact, they'd had their's stolen also.) n' was rerouted to a page where I had to sign in.

Anyway, recently it's happened twice, back to fkn back. N' I wasn't asked to sign in or anything...just all of a sudden someone got in n' changed my pw. How? N' how can I protect my Y! account from any further attacks? N' yes, someone really doesn't like me. Fk n*gg*'s. Them, not y'all :)

Thanks in advance.

Like I told you before baby, maybe you should change your security questions. Think about how you retrieved your account.

It was an imposter geocities site. But that's how it was jacked the first time, not the 2nd n' 3rd time. The last 2 times I have no clue as to how n' where. It just happened.
