it is possible, but it happens when someone hacks into your system and goes through your passwords which are stored in your system. you need to get something like zonealarm which prevents illegal access, also in the chat rooms wen you answer a insant message you are creating a direct link that allows the person on the other end a door to enter into your system

best thing to do if you didn't do a thing is to report it straight away to the authorities as some sort of hacker could be using your computer to get this stuff. people can do all sorts  of stuff these days so don't get caught in the middle

It is impossible to check to who has changed your yahoo password.. it is up to you to keep your password securd.. how did you find out the new password that was used? \n\nTry sending an email to yourself and see where it ends up..

How do you know you were intruded?\n\nDepending on what exploit the hacker used to gain access to your pc, there are some things you can do.\n\nfirst off, get all updates for Windows, Internet explorer as well as your anti virus program. \n\nthen clean up your pc of all the unused registry entries, temp folder files, and the rest. There is a program called system mechanic that does this for you. They offer a free fully functional trial that should help you restore your system. check them out here:\n\nIf none of this works...and your ready, you may need to reformat your hard drive meaning erase your whole computer and reload a fresh copy of Windows.\n\nif you want to go this way, also check out a mandriva Linux solution.

its called phishing.\nAnother site pretended to be yours and just\ngot your username and password.\nI recommend being more careful on the exact website you are at. If you have important information delete it from that account and create a new one or change your password on the existing one which is probably the easiest

How he got your password? \nCheck your computer use some fidable AntiVirus and also Spyware. Perhaps you have an spiware. \nChange your password and he will not be able to get it again. \n\n.... or you can just change it and report abuse ans has been told above.

umm if you know who they are then ask them to stop if not get zonealarm and make it hard as hell for them to do it again.  Also run a anti-spyware program find the trojan if he has one on your computer.  Run a anti-virus.  Thats the start of it.  If he is changing your passwords in email then make sure you change all your security codes and answers after you change it back.

Could be a friend, hacker, spyware, keylogger or anything of this sort.   The best way to defend against these would be to up your defenses.  I use ad-aware se personal, ewido antispy, spybot search and destroy, and Kaspersky antivirus and firewall.  Run these types of programs and run them frequently (at least once a week).  If you visit shady websites, try not to.  If you must, DO NOT click on any type of download at all!  \n\nAs far as your password, make sure it is comprised of letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers and symbols.  The longer your password is with the more of the aforementioned items incorporated into them the harder it becomes to acquire you password.  Make sure your paypal account and the email address you have associated with ebay and paypal have good password also.  Change your secret question on your email.  Don't use something like what is my dog's name b/c all your best friends know who fluffy is!  \n\nSomeone just recently hacked into my wifes myspace account and posted all kinds of obscene blogs.  I kept telling her to change her password from the same 7-letter password she had been using on email and everything else for the last 8 years.  I guess that's part of being married though because she didn't listen to me and it took being hacked for her to realize this!  \n\nIn short though, use a good, strong password and change it every now and then.  Don't get complacent when it comes to security of your personal information!

The only way someone can change ur password is if they knew ur username and password and changed it themselves.  Either that or it could be a yahoo problem.  That's happened before.

Firstly, please write in plain English; I almost gave up trying to decipher your gibberish.  And do NOT write in all CAPS -- it's the equivalent of yelling at someone.  If you yell at us, we won't waste our time with you.\n\nYou will need to remember the details that you used when you created the account in order to recover a lost password.  If you have forgotten this information, there is no way to access the account or reset the password.

Firstly report him/her to Yahoo, or wherever else you have been recieving emails or messages.\nSecondly, make sure that your personal details aren't in the public domain anywhere online or elsewhere. I don't know what this person said to you, but the fact you used the word 'disturbing', makes me worry a little. I would for the moment make sure you have adequate anti-virus software and that you cannot be traced, meaning your address or phone number.\nUnfortunately there are a lot of strange people on the internet, it's given a new, more discreet and untraceable forum to weirdos across the world.\nBe careful, I wish you all the best. \nDana
