YES SOMEBODY CAN STEAL YOUR PASSWORD, AND IT IS VERY EASY TO DO IF YOU HAVE NOT SECURED YOUR ACCOUNT.
IF YOU ARE NET SAVY, AND SECURE YOUR ACCOUNT NO ONE CAN STEAL YOUR PASSWORD, IT IS ALL UP TO YOU.
there are 4 ways to steal a password
1 Phishing - Make a false sign in page and send it to people through messenger. With a little message as if you know the person, then prompting them to SIGN IN and view some pics to remind them. Amazing the amout of people who fall for this.DO NOT SIGN INTO ANY LINK THAT IS SENT TO YOU ON MESSENGER, EVEN IF IT IS A YAHOO SIGN IN PAGE, ALWAYS ENTER YAHOO THROUGH THE YAHOO HOME PAGE. read> http://security.yahoo.com/article.html?a...
2. Plant a key logger in a file and send through email or messenger, The person downloads the key logger which copies all script typed and sends it to and email address, or through messenger to the thief. DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANYFILES FROM ANYONE YOU DO NOT KNOW.
3. Cracking . Programmes made to load thousands of Yahoo IDS, and a list of passwords are run through that list at a very fast speed. Amazing the amount of IDs that have easy passwords and easily cracked. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A GOOD PASSWORD SOMETHING WITH LETTERS AND NUMBERS IN IT. THE YAHOO GENERATED PASSWORDS ARE THE HARDEST TO CRACK.
4. Social Engineering The thief gets to know the person and encourages them to give their password and all their personal info, the thief uses this info to recover the account. If you have given your info to someone, go to you account and change the ZIP, changing the zip, secures your account like changing you secret … IMPORTANT> it is this new ZIP yahoo will recognise in recovery not the old one
DO NOT SIGN INTO ANY LINK SENT TO YOU ON MESSENGER, ALWAYS USE THE YAHOO HOME PAGE.
So many people do not realise you do not need to sign into geocities and otehr sites to view pics.
Make sure you have a good password, something with letters and numbers in it. The yahoo generated passwords are the hardest to crack.
Do not give your personal info out online e.g birthdate, zip code, etc

When you on the Internet you are online which means you are using your telephone line. Some people can put a trace on the line to steal your information. I am after completing a 4 years computer course and that was one of the things I have learnt. Creepy isn’t it.

Yes, it is possible to hack into email conversations, but quite difficult. The kind of person that would have spent years acquiring the knowledge it would take to hack an email system would NOT be interested in the conversations that you have with your friends. They would be after bank account numbers, passwords, etc.
I imagine that what you are describing was created by a glitch in the system that either automatically forwarded a message. Or maybe you just let someone else get ahold of your login and password. Probably someone that you know.
First of all, change your password. Second of all, contact your email provider and let them know what happened.
