Why Does Yahoo Messenger Sign Me Out When Checking Email?

AI Thread Summary
Users are experiencing automatic sign-outs from Yahoo Messenger when accessing their email, which may indicate a session conflict or an issue with the integrated IM applet in Yahoo's mail interface. This behavior can occur if a user logs in from a different device or if the email interface is causing the messenger to log out. Some users suggest that changing the account password may enhance security if there are concerns about unauthorized access. The problem seems consistent across both the old and new versions of Yahoo Mail. Overall, it appears to be a common technical issue rather than a sign of account compromise.

Hello,

I always encounter with the following message that I have been signed out from yahoo messenger because I signed in in different computer. What this message means? Does this mean that my account has been compromised?

It could mean that, yes. It could also mean somebody turned on another computer you use to access yahoo chat (if you have it set to auto-login).
 
I get that if I forget to log out before logging in again.
 
Negative, none of them happen.
 
Hi David.

I got the same problem while checking my e-mail, Y!'s mail interface (both the old & the new one) has some sort of limited IM applet that'll pop you out when you check your mail.

If that's not the case, the safest way is to change your password.

Yes this is the case, I noticed that. Just when I check my yahoo email, I signed out automatically from the messenger.

Thread 'The Human Cost of AI'

This week, I saw a documentary done by the French called Les sacrifiés de l'IA, which was presented by a Canadian show Enquête. If you understand French I recommend it. Very eye-opening. I found a similar documentary in English called The Human Cost of AI: Data workers in the Global South. There is also an interview with Milagros Miceli (appearing in both documentaries) on Youtube: I also found a powerpoint presentation by the economist Uma Rani (appearing in the French documentary), AI...
