If Yahoo detects unusual activity, unsuccessful access attempts, or changes to settings, we'll send a notification to your account and recovery emails. This isn't necessarily a cause for concern. In some situations, someone with a similar Yahoo ID may unknowingly attempt to access an account.

Is no-reply@cc.Yahoo-Inc.com really Yahoo checking on sign in attempts or is this yet another con? It's likely a legitimate email, unless it was spoofed.
An epic and historic data breach at Yahoo in August 2013 affected every single customer account that existed at the time, Yahoo parent company Verizon said on Tuesday. That's three billion accounts -- including email, Tumblr, Fantasy and Flickr -- or three times as many as the company initially reported in 2016.
Gmail was among the first to offer more robust authentication and security measures, such as two-step authentication, writes Brian Krebs, on his immensely popular blog Krebs on Security. The simple logic is that Google is a safer neighborhood than Yahoo for email and social media activity.
In September 2016, Yahoo revealed a hack that compromised 500 million user accounts. In December, the company revealed yet another hack, this time affecting a record 1 billion accounts. On Tuesday, Yahoo updated that number to all 3 billion accounts its services. And yes, that includes yours.
Encrypting Emails With Yahoo
Yahoo uses SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) as a layer of security to protect the account but requires third-party services to encrypt with S/MIME or PGP/MIME.Clear your browser's cookies. Quit and then restart your browser. Use a different supported web browser. Try logging into a different sign-in page, like our primary login page or the Yahoo Mail sign-in page.
If you had a Yahoo account between 2012 and 2016 you can claim online or by mail for two years of free credit monitoring. If you can show that you already have credit monitoring—like, say, from the Equifax breach—you can claim for "alternative compensation," which will be cash up to $100.
One of the most obvious signs of your email being hacked is the fact that you can't sign into it. If your email password is rejected as incorrect and you didn't change it, it's a strong indication that someone else has altered it.
Email users should be reassured that Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo are protected and secure email providers, as long as good email practice is employed. Google stopped scanning Gmail messages for ad-targeting purposes last year - but it has been confirmed that Google does allow third parties to access Gmail data.
If your Yahoo Mail account was hacked, since secured, and it still seems like you're sending spam, "spoofing" is the cause. Future spoofing doesn't mean you're hacked but we always encourage securing your account. Spoofed emails are sent from outside the Yahoo network and attackers don't have access to your account.
