Stollen password someone is logging in as me. can I track it?

Question

I recently found out that someone has been using my password on yahoo to log in read my emails then send them to other people. Is there a way to find out who or from what computer these logins were happening? I have changed my password but would like to find out who this person is.

Answer 1

Don't bother with attempting to track this. Change your password ASAP! Make it one a little more difficult to guess.



You could contact Yahoo Support.



They may be able to give you an IP address, but this may be difficult to trace to an individual computer. The IP address is only going to give you the Internet Service Provider for the individual computer.



Computers are assigned their TCP/IP address buy a DHCP server. This address can change daily. You would need to contact the Internet Service Provider to find out what computer was assigned this address when these unauthorized log-ins took place. But they may not give you this information because of privacy reasons. If this happens, you won't get much further without getting the police involved.

Answer 2

absolutely NO "unless" your yahoo's account country domain offers that feature. so far, there is only one country that can make it but not an English version. and with this feature, whoever logs in with your account, the date/time/IP of the computer being used will be displayed in your screen over yahoo mail account. even if that person will use a mobile to access it, the mobile will appear also. i have 3 accounts in that country and everything is always monitored.

in your case, it will be hard for you to trace it up.

*for the first answerer, that is only possible if the option/feature is what i mentioned above.

Answer 3

Check the last IP used on your account... Contact Yahoo support, they might be able to help you...
