How do I get the names from an account that got hacked into this new account that i made?

Question

My name got stolen from me and all the information changed so I cant get it back. I had people from high school that that was the only way that i talked to them was through messenger! I put them on there so I wouldn't have to remember the screen names. Is there anyway at all to get the names from my old account on yahoo under cowboyworm_2000 into my new account ukworm9? It would be greatly appreciated if someone knew how to do this or can get them for me and e-mail the screen names to me.

Answer 1

Yes you can get it back. Same exact thing happened to me last year.

The first thing you want to do is lock it up. You do that by putting in the wrong password about 10 times and the account locks for about 12 hours.

Then you need to contact Yahoo! Customer Care at -http://add.yahoo.com/fast/help/us/mail/c... and fill in the form in detail.

Customer Care will get back to you and ask you questions - the information you used to create the account. Yahoo keeps that information.

If you answer the questions and know the secret question then Yahoo! can reset the password.

As soon as the password is reset and you can get back into your account you need to go to your My Account and change your information back to what it was before and change your password.
