How can you know if your yahoo account password has been cracked in case
<snip>
could give you the passwd.
I would furthermore eliminate accessing your yahoo account from Microsoft based operating systems. You'll be multiplying the odds of getting that account snarfed and cracked through alot of different avenues, and not necessarily browser related ones. Ah, active content in email. Idiotic.
Whereas with another OS you don't have as many vulnerabilities to begin with. Still sucks, but better to have less to contend with. Nothing is perfect, it's all about trying to tweak the odds in your favour.
