Trying to get to my email?

A friends email was hacked and we are trying to get it back. What do we need to get it back?

• This guy that used to go onto a forum that i go to is playing this sick twisted game on a friends there and they hacked 2 of her emails. She really needs back one of them but the problem is when she made it, she didn't enter the correct Birth date and doesn't remember the answer to the secret question. Is there a way to get back her account? If not, is there a way to find this persons IP address or even where the person lives by entering the email somewhere? All I really need is the IP if i cant get the email password back.

• Answer:

  If your password has been changed, most likely all your personal info will have been changed too. In that case asking for help by clicking the "forgot password" link won't do you any good. In case of a hacked account send a mail describing your problem to account-security-help @cc.yahoo-inc.com Note: please delete the blank space between help and @ which I had to insert because Yahoo can't handle long addresses. If this doesn't help, call Yahoo: 1-408-349-1572, explain to a customer service person what happened. They will ask you to do certain things and then they compare your original info with the changed info. Within 24 hrs you should get your account back!
