I am really concerned about my friend since he successfuly cracked security questions from his neighbors email?

He was in a library and after several unsuccessful tries at the security question on their yahoo mail account he got them right. He then changed the password of his neighbors yahoo email account and rummaged through the emails and covered his tracks by marking unread. He did not send anything on that account?





I am concerned for the people who had their password switched unknowingly. Would my friend be tracked down? If so,what could happen since he did it in a library computer?|||It really doesn't matter from where he did it. No one would care enough to do anything about it. Yahoo would have no way of knowing that it wasn't the original owners of the email that changed it. All they get is IP info. Also connecting an IP to a person isn't that easy. Since the cyber police don't exist and this happens everyday thousands of times, his neighbors would have to be prominent individuals to get anyone to bother "investigating".|||It's possible but probably not, the people that had their account cracked would have to report it then theres investigations and such, but what he did was illegal fyi. Being on a library computer he's probably safe, but should not do these types of activities in the future. Also if your library requires you to sign in to the computers using your library cards then they could track it back to him.|||your friend will be fine he should change the password back to what it was before and keep the password as well if he still wants tog go through it without them knowing.





hes pretty clever
