It's not at all clear what's going on, or even what Tony's intentions are. First off, Tony hasn't even made it clear what led him to believe his account had been compromised in the first place...on this list, as well as the Incidents list, there are plenty of posts where the author thinks he has a worm or a virus, when in fact he doesn't.
Second, Tony doesn't seem to be aware that sites like Yahoo don't just give up any information that any user calls and requests. Finally, if Tony's account really was taken over, then it's likely that eventually the perpetrator will either grow bored and go away, or just change the password. --- Sumit Dhar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Thu, 25 Apr 2002, Tony Abedini wrote: > > > Obviously if I changed my password, then I'd ruin > the > > chance of the person logging in again, so NO I > haven't > > change my password. > > The classic "hunted turning hunter" maneuver?? :) > > But if someone has your password, I would still > assume the best thing to > do would be to change it immediately.
