You may not be able to find out who it is but as a precautionary measure, immediately change your password to something stronger with a combination of alpha numeric characters and symbols like * (asterisk) or $ (dollar sign). It will be harder for the hackers to hack your password and change your account.

Possible problem with secure http connection of messenger

Yahoo Messenger? It is pretty well protected unless someone hacked your user name or password--someone who knows you?

Consider getting a new user name and password--good idea to change that password every once in a while.

You could contact Yahoo but they often provide little help.

If you are using a router and wireless for the unit--make sure its protected with a security setup and change that password also--so no one can get in and see what you are doing.

Either someone hacked the router or your Messenger name and password.
