How an account can be compromised

There are several ways your Yahoo! ID or Yahoo! Account can be placed at risk. Here are a few:
Responding to a fraudulent "phishing" email that pretends to be from Yahoo!, asking for your user name and password.
Having a type of malicious software called a "key logger" on your computer.
Allowing third parties access to your account.
Leaving your account signed in at a public location.
Utilizing the same password across multiple online services or applications.

The only way to protect yourself is to arm yourself with knowledge. When you relax and expect others to protect you, they usually drop the ball. So this is why I do what I do.
