Was poking around my email account and noticed there was an email alias that was totally unknown to me. I could delete it but was wondering before I do is there any legitimate reason it may be there? If not, how can I investigate possible hacking? In Yahoo email there is a way to check account login activity which provides date/time, location, IP address, so could check that way, but is that available in Verizon Yahoo mail? Or any other way to future investigate this alias. Thanks in advance for your advise.

A vz id? those always exist, but shouldn't be considered aliases. The regular alias is your choice to have or have not. Nothing would depend on it.

Thanks. This alias is definitely not one I created. So is this a method of hacking an email account?

Can't imagine how it got created. DELETE IT.

No good. Won't let me delete it. Get a Yahoo Mail message (even though I am logged into Verizon Yahoo) indicating: "Sorry, you must have an active Yahoo! Mail account in order to qualify for an extra email address." Next step?

Does the alias show on the Yahoo interface or is on the Verizon interface?
