[Closed] Help: my yahoo mail account has been hacked

Hi,

Just got an email off my brother in law to say I'd sent a strange email, it's definitely my email address. When I've logged on to check it showed someone logged on in sweden. I've logged them out.

I don't have a password, when I log on I get sent a text with a pass code.

I've changed my password, checked phone and email addresses and logged everyone out.

Looking at the event history it doesn't show them logging on and I didn't get a notification to ask if I was logging on.

I've run a virus checker but not found anything.

Any tips or suggestions.

Should I do a factory reset on my phone? I don't log onto email by any other means

Thanks

You sure that the email he received actually came from your Yahoo account and didn't just use your address as a spoofed sender? Check the email headers to be sure.
