I was using my yahoo account and this website %26lt;account-services-en@cc.yahoo-inc.com%26gt; came up and it took my info from my yahoo accounts. How do I protect myself/find out what it took/ or close my yahoo account?How do I now protect myself from this phishing scam taken from my Yahoo account?
Phishing occurs when a fraudster sends you an email representing a legimit company such as your bank or any other company that you do business with and asks for your personal info. Now you should not put any personal info in an email since its not secure. And a company that you do business with will never ask for your personal info in an email. The thing that you should do is try to reset your password if you have an alternate email address in your account. Because if you don't have an alternate email address it can be impossible to reset your password. However you can answer your secret questions unless the imposter already changed your secret questions or secret answers. Now also don't give out any personal info over the phone or by even if they say that is your bank or whatever don't give out any personal info unless you iniciated the contact because crimminals are now using the phone mail to steel your personal info.
