The victim is in Sydney and the hacker from South Africa. I know he is fom SA coz he asked for payments to SA for another similar service. I just searched with yahoo and mailed them my target. Someone tell me wot to do to avoid my own password being remotely cracked. I use cyber cafes, have no PC.

the whole internet is not safe, you can only try to make you life a bit more safe.
the 'hacker' probably sent a keylogger to your victim and he/she opened the letter. when you get the login and password can you still call this a hack?

.............Welcome to Yahoo Answers.............
Victim location Sydney
Hacker location South Africa
Target : hacker in South Africa
Hacker got whose Password for Yahoo mail. ( victim)
.Did the victim give Target the password ?
What info you gave Yahoo ? ( you are not the victim)
.The full headers of the email message sent to the victim ?
You accessed the victim's email in cyber cafe or in his/her house ?
Did the hacker use the victim's Email ID and password to
demand money from anybody else ?
How will he get the money ?
Quite a confusing Picture !
Para two :1. Never give your Yahoo Mail password to anyone.
2.Don't write it in a notebook.
3. Change it at least once in a month.
4. Use mixed characters and letters say w2jk4op8
5.Never give Bank account number ATM card number,credit card number in internet to unknown persons.
6. When working in cyber cafes , after you finish
clear all private data. ( from IE or FireFox)

"I use cyber cafes, have no PC." tells me your password was stolen at the CyberCafe, probably wireless with no WPA encryption.
It has nothing to do with Yahoo. Just change your Yahoo password.
If the hacker uses your existing Yahoo account to do bad things, report it to Yahoo and get a new Yahoo account.

use a STRONG PASSWORD. I use numbers & letters both small & caps mingled together.makes it a lot harder but nothing is hack proof.and then staying away from S.A. & Nigeria is a good way to keep safe too.

Hmm.. like that you try to contact or email to yahoo! staff and tell them about that. I think yahoo! staff will be very interesting with those thing.

Safe, not invulnerable.
