Can Somone mimick another one's Yahoo ID ?

Someone posted in a newsgroup Using My Own Yahoo ID
in a Yahoo group that I'm a co-moderator of.

They made the post to look like I were syaing that my

password was found by someone!!

My password is a good one (combination of letters and

numbers) and NO ONE GOT ACCESS TO IT.

I do have a fire Wall (hardware firewall).

Just wondering how could this happen?

I dont download anything i'm not sure and i'm a pretty

careful user. I even went to symantec website and had them

test my pc security and it was ok.......all ports are

closed and such. I use the internet from win2k server.

Just can't understand how could something like this happen!

Any ways of preventing this from happening again?

Thank you very much

mike
