Have You Changed My Password ?

I was shocked to read a mail with 'Your Yahoo! password was changed' as subject. The contents of the mail read "The password for your Yahoo! ID was recently changed. You don't need to do anything, this message is simply a notification to protect the security of your account. Your new password may take a few moments to become active. If it doesn't work on your first try, please try it again later." I was totally unaware of the fact that I had changed my password. Actually I had not changed it.

This is a real strange mail that I received and was surprised. I then strolled through my memory to check if I had given out my password to anyone but to no avail. Infact I had changed my password some 10 days back so it was not very difficult to remember if I had given it to anybody. How could this have happened, is the question that I am unable to answer. The message body said that "1. Someone changed your password on 10/09/2009 at 11:04AM. Please sign in to your Yahoo! account to confirm you still have access after the change." I could not access my account so I reset my password and even changed the security question. Lets see what happens now. If anyone of you has any idea what might have prompted this do let me know.

To add to my wounds, even my GMail password is gone, I have this GMail account through which I access Facebook, Orkut and Gmail has also been lost. This is the 3rd time in a span of over a month that my GMail password has been rejected. I don't know if someone changed it or I am having problems remembering things. It has been a day of surprises, but none of them so far has been good. I am totally fed up with this mess, boy I need to get over it as soon as possible, it is killing me from inside.
