Yahoo security and password hacking...

Hello friends! Have you ever wondered how easily one can hack your yahoo or hotmail or any account password? We all give our birthdays and pin codes in social networking sites like orkut or hi5. and then the hacker enters this data in the forgor password area and then you get the security question. now anyone who knows you well can guess the answer to it. and also, yahoo does not allow you to change either your birthday or your secret answer, so it is very much possible that at the start when you created your account, you gave a very easy question and a simple answer. And how far do you think it is true that people out there who claim that if you pay them 20 or 40$ then they will tell you the hacked password of anyone and they also claim to attach a snapshot of the victim's inbox... how far are we really safe?

there are good hackers around. they have devised a program for it to make it even a lot much easier to pursue the task of stealing whatever from others through the internet. we may be angered by their presence but, there is not much that we can do about it but secure our accounts. we have become the helpless victims of these hackers, whether we like it or not.
