How do I get control back of an account that I lost control of years ago? During the compromise, changing my password did not remove the ability for others to use the account so I shut down the account. It was reactivated by not me and not my recovery info is currently on the account, still with access to all of my contacts and the ability to send emails as me. I have never been able to fix this. Yahoo is completely useless in this regard.
FYI - Appears any Yahoo (and Flickr and Tumblr) user is eligible for $100 + up to 5 hrs time at $25/hr (more if you provide documentation).
