Windows 10: My email recently got in a data breach, and they got hold of my account. I need to change...

I can get into the account now just fine, and i can prove its me. I got it back from the forum. I change the password but the email is still **** there. I cant change it, last time i tried to change the email, and it ended up saying "yeah they can get back in for a whole **** month btw lol" and they got back in today. I got it back already. But, like i said, the issue still exists. Now, its saying i have to wait a whole **** month to even get to change it again. I cant do this, this account is essentially on hostage until i can finally change my info or if the lazy tardlet forgets for a whole

:)

 

Data Breach Question

I use Mozilla/Firefox for emails - I was notified late yesterday that I had a data breach. I quickly changed my password to the account. Is there anything else I should do? Do I have to change my password for my other two email accounts? Thanks -- 20H2-19042.804

 

Unauthorized Emails from my account?

It is more than likely that your email account was hacked, either by a virus sniffing your password, or just simply hacked.

Either way, change your password on your email account. Unfortunately the damage by already be done. They already have your contact list and your email address associated with that contact list. There is nothing stopping them from sending out emails using their own SMTP servers to everyone on your contact list and claiming the emails are from your email address. They don't actually have to have access to your yahoo account or even any yahoo server to send emails to people that come from your address.

Could you share the details of the data breach ? Data breach meaning someone had hacked or used your email ?
