    Email hacked.?
    « on: March 02, 2012, 09:20:20 PM »
    My yahoo email has been hacked, both accounts actually, I created another account today. My question is, since I'm pretty sure I know who did this, how can I prove it? Once I've changed my password, whats to stop them from hacking into it again? My password wasn't even a real word, completlely off-the-wall and yet they managed to get in and send harrassing emails to a certain person. Any of you computer geeks out there know how to trace who hacked, or how to keep them from doing it next time? Thanks.

    You might want to scan your machine for a keylogger. Normally, I'd suggest Ad-Aware SE and Spybot S&D, but since this is a personal "prank" rather than a professional job, I don't know if they'd find anything.

    Still ...

    Also, run your anti-virus.

    Good luck.

    Prove it to who, though?
    I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.
