    So

    i figured out how that person took my account..

    first it was social engineering..
    A new term i learned today..

    here is the full conversation via my Yahoo Messenger..

    cute_kimmy_xx: hey! i haven't spoken to you much recently, how are you ?

    chain__smoker: i am good how u doing?

    cute_kimmy_xx: im doing great

    cute_kimmy_xx: do you remember who i am?

    chain__smoker: not really sorry..

    chain__smoker: refresh my memory
    cute_kimmy_xx: lol

    cute_kimmy_xx: its kimmy, we spoke a while back about how life has been and everything

    cute_kimmy_xx: i showed you some of my pics too, would seeing those again help refresh your memory of who i am?

    chain__smoker: yes that would help actually ;)

    cute_kimmy_xx: www.geocities.com/starry_babe56 they are on there, im on the right

    chain__smoker: sorry i cant get in to site

    So this is a low level of social engineering where person asks you personal question via social interaction and get your vital info.

    I did not reveal anything but that person make me go to that site. Which seem legit. But what was behind the site was response-o-matic.com which gathers form information in my case whic was my Yahoo account info and sends it to the intended email.

    i found this out by cracking open the html which lead me to believe that the form lead to this person's email...

    sucks.. o well.. hope Yahoo shuts my account down ASAP.......
