Get your sister to telephone her friend & tell him someone has taken control of his account.

Here's what to do... Get your "sis" to get on Yahoo! (the website), and change her password (if it has been changed). You can use the password recovery tool to reset it... Also, I would be interested to know if you can get this person's IP address for me... Such deeds can not go unnoticed you know...

Flame, I know it's pretty convoluted but if you read the question a few times it looks like it's the 'friend' who has the problem.
Having said that, Sis would be well advised to change her password too.
-
hhhmm... I see your point... Whoever it is needs to reset the password... I'm also still interested in the IP of the hacker/cracker if possible...

Actually, there is no cure for stupidity yet, so most deeds as described above are bound to go unnoticed.

When *censored* freezes over and pigs decide to fly, my friend...
I'm feeling generous. Install the following applications and configure them properly. Pay particular attention to installing and configuring the firewall as it may be able to put a halt to the intruder his/her activities:

Not while I'm around... ;)

Wait now... I'm getting the impression that you think I'm doing something very different with that IP... I have a friend who's a cop in the Cybercrime field... I give the numbers to him, he investigates, and has the option to take actions.. What did you thought I did? ???

Boasting, actually.
I suggest that you do not ask novice to relay through IP adresses as the IP adress used may not belong to the intruder. It may belong to a machine also used by the intruder and you would most likely get someone in trouble that fell victim to ignorance.
-
How did you come up with that? ??? Seriously... My father's a judge... You meet people in the law system that way. I met the guy, and now when I see Cybercrime, why not report it? Could save another person from facing the same problem...
