Email hacked on Mother's Day
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY
Scammer sent message to me from WITHIN my own email to gloat " How do you like being scammed?!" after causing all sorts of problems where I had to cancel cards at the banks.
These messages are still sitting in my "sent" box.
Can Yahoo trace what IP address they were sent from?
They hacked my Uber Eats and Ebay accounts to send things to Ash Road, which I assume is just a prank address.
I spent my Mother's Day trying to cancel cards with banks and trying to stop transactions happening.
I have not shared my passwords with anyone, so how have they managed to get into my email and send me a message?
Hoping Yahoo can use the 3 messages marked "scam" / "scammed" in my sent folder to follow this up.

Re: Email hacked on Mother's Day
@NicNack1 I doubt Yahoo will investigate the hackers for you. What would you expect them to do?
I'm afraid the onus is on you to keep your personal details safe from hackers. You need to ensure any account email or otherwise has secure passwords & 2FA where provided.
Have you reported this to Action Fraud? https://www.actionfraud.police.uk/

Re: Email hacked on Mother's Day
@NicNack1 I agree it's highly unlikely Yahoo or Sky would follow this up. Email hacking is rare unless your password is one that someone you know might be able to guess it. More likely you've inadvertently given away your login details by clicking on a link to a fake website asking you to log in.
