Had installed SUSE 10 (since a month ago) and somehow suddenly , Iam not able to log into myYahoo. for the past few days.

Always got the message as below :

Am I being hacked? I basically had no junk mail, no spam and the only sites I visited is Linux related , Google and Yahoo news. A mail to Yahoo returns the standard reply.

Booting my computer into Windows and I can log into myYahoo account without problem.

Any idea what's happening?

Doesn't seem like it's related to you being hacked. Try the standard stuff -- clear your cache, try using a different linux browser (even elinks for example), reboot, etc.

If you think you've been hacked I would check the output of top. Last time I was hacked I found like 4 instances of sendmail running. Spammers have the most to gain from hacking your system these days..
