Is there some sort of virus that blocks addresses in yahoo mail? - xTn - 04-05-2014 11:17 AM
I just found out today that about 500 addresses were blocked by my mail including twitter.com, facebook.com, gmail.com and hotmail.com. I'm pretty sure that it wasn't me who blocked these. I don't know how this could've happened.

Hi xTn,
If you did not make those changes to your blocked address list, it's possible that your account may have been compromised and the changes were done to prevent mail delivery. I highly advise that you change your password right away. That is the first and most important step in re-securing your account:

After you change your password be sure to follow the steps in this Yahoo Help article to finish re-securing your account by checking your account for any other changes that may have been made to the account and mail settings:

For tips you can use to keep your account safe I would highly recommend this Yahoo Help article:

Hope that helps!
