• Answer:

  HELP MY PROFILE HAS BEEN CHANGED AND IT IS NOT ME! I have heard of this happening to a few people. You need to immediately change your password. Most likely it was compromised either by you clicking a bad link, entering your name and password into a fake log in page, not having a secure password, or some other way your account was cracked. You will have to manually edit the profile yourself to get it back to the way it was. Yahoo even has a help page about this http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/profiles/cctop10/profile.html;_ylt=AoYddKJ3_OdIkUYgb4vK3GT4TCR4 It will tell you what to do. It gives you the link to change your password and how to contact yahoo if you are unable to change your password. A tip for a more secure password that is harder to crack is one that is at least 8 characters long, uses uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Although if you fall for one of the scams it doesn't matter how secure the password is. Here is a very helpful page about password phishing scams: http://security.yahoo.com/article.html?aid=2006111501
