I think someone might have "hacked" my yahoo account 😥 Are all webmail accounts quite vulnerable or are some better than others? Hotmail? Google? Help please...

Spose it depends on your password strength. Gmail has always seemed good.

Use a proxy if you want the "gmail" ending.

If you create a google account from the UK you will get stuck with xxxx@googlemail.com

Use a proxy and register you can get xxxx@gmail.com It just look nicer.

You can still send and receive from @gmail.com even if it gives you @googlemail.com, they're just not allowed to tell you

Something to do with a UK company call Gmail.

if you've got a keylogger on your pc/one you use then they are all equally unsafe
