Yahoo Mail Prone to Hack?

It's ture that Yahoo Mail s one of the most prone to hack?

I set a very strong password and very strong secret question.

But i read that some time this service lost mail and is prone to hack.

True or not?

Though I don't consider myself a techy, I would say the answer to your question is 'yes'

I say this based purely on the problems I have had myself (with my own Yahoo account) and also on the multitude of posts I have read about this (at email discussions) in the past.

Its true, but u will not get any issues. Yahoo had taken so many measures after that was done.

I think it's probably attacked on a frequent basis. As long as you are using a good password and security questions. I don't think there is much to worry about. I have three accounts with Yahoo! Mail. I am not worried at all about being compromised. I have a strong password and my security questions are not easily guessable.

I do have three friends who had their accounts compromised. One friend who I had spoke to in the morning sent out and email that afternoon saying he was in London and needed money. LOL. All of them used really weak passwords.
