    How to tell if your account was hacked - https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN2090.html?impressions=true If you think your account was hacked, the first thing to do is to immediately change your password - https://edit.yahoo.com/forgotroot/ If you're unable to change your password, open the first link and click the "Contact Customer Care" link under the Quick Links section to the right of your screen. This should open the Yahoo Help form. The selected product should be "Yahoo Account". "Under Topic" select "Hacked Accounts" "Under Sub-topic" select "unable to verify my secret question" "Under Recommended options" You will see the option - Call Us Clicking on the Call Us option reveals the Yahoo Customer Care number Toll Free US : 1-800-318-0612 24 hours a day, 7 days a week International: 1-408-916-2100 If you use your Yahoo password at other sites you will need to change the password for those sites as well. I recommend using a password manager like Keepass or LastPass to create and store strong unique passwords for the sites you visit. You can also save notes like your secret questions and answers to the password entries. LastPass can automatically log you in to any web site you have stored in its database. I would recommend that you change your secret questions and answers also.
