How do I delete a hacked Yahoo! email account. I did try to delete the account, but since the hackers have changed the passwords, I don't know what the current password is. I also want to block this yahoo email account and 2 other email accounts that the Hackers created.

IMPORTANT: CHANGE OF EMAIL ADDRESS

NEW EMAIL address for Norma Standing

I have set up a brand-new Email address on gmail. Please use this new email address: xxxxxxxxxx@gmail.com. As many of you already know, my Yahoo account was hacked (by some enterprising person in Nigeria) And since my contact lists have been restored, I can you let you know I am currently live And reachable on Gmail. Thank you to all of you intelligent people who recognized a spam/hack and contacted me. Norma S.

You're posting to the Firefox support forum. Firefox is a web browser and doesn't handle your emails.

I can assure you nobody answering questions here is interested in your new email address. Posting your email address to a public forum will potentially expose you to even more spam and attack.

You'll need to work with Yahoo to either recover your password or have your account locked or deleted.

You probably would have been better off by simply deleting the message sent to you by the 'enterprising person in Nigeria'.

I've tried that many times, without success. I am going to close down that entire account,.
