Yahoo services were attacked today at roughly 3:50pm EST by massive I.P. redirects resulting in the shutdown and breach of thousands of user accounts. A spokesperson for Yahoo Inc. said that they are aware of the problem and will have services restored as soon as possible. They also added that the security breech was a flaw in the new firewall services currently in beta testing for new upcoming release of Windows Vista, scheduled for release early next year. Yahoo has asked users to secure their accounts by confirming their identity and or changing passwords to a secure, undetectable one which consists of no less than 10 characters of numerals and letters. CNN had contacted Yahoo headquarters for comment but no calls were returned. once you're changed your pass word stay logged in to either your mail , 360 , games, ect. they can't get your password if you're logged in. its what somone told me. im just passin the message for them

Have you not read all the other questions????
Just relax! It's only a computer! We rely on computers wayy to much these days. There is a little thing called life. Go walking, read a book. Messenger will still be there another time.
Be patient.

You all need to get a life. I mean, there's been power outages going on and some site's may be down. Why you all saying this things? Come on. It's not going to kill you to wait until they fix the problems. Geez...I thought I was bad.

yahoo servers are down. they have been for over 6 hours, and the yahoo email appears to not be working in various parts of the US, but works in Canada.
yahoo hopes to have it back up and running in the next 24 - 48 hours.
