Looks like someone hacked into my hotmail account and I can't get back in. So anyone who actually had my email, I apologize if you get weird emails. They aren't from me. If you want my new email, PM me.

Jeez, I did not even know someone could hack into an email account without the password. That's weird. Hope you get it straightened out.

I just went and changed all the passwords and emails all of my notifications get sent to. I had nothing important in my hotmail account but it's a major PITA to go back and change everything. You would think these hackers had better things to do with their time other than live in their mother's basements eating nothing but hot pockets and drinking energy drinks and looking at what they would be considered "stimulating magazines", PC Digest. *facepalm*

I've been getting really weird eMails, but oddly, none are from you, Candice. ;D

That sux, why would someone hack your hotmail account? Was it connected to your forum or business?

Nope i have separate emails for those luckily. I have those emails on my own servers and such. The person who got my hotmail account is going to be very disappointed when they find out nothing goes to it except spam and random forum notifications.

If only they could use their knowledge to do something worthwhile...like jump off a cliff or play tag with a bus or several of them.

I hear you. Unfortunately, it is today's world. No more purse snatching - let's see what we can get electonically.

My yahoo account was compromised a couple months back. It is annoying.

They were attempting my yahoo account yesterday too (as if the hotmail wasn't enough) but I got in just in time to change everything.

You've never been diagnosed with multiple personalities, before, have you, Candice? LOL!

Weird that they know two of your eMail accounts if you don't frequent similar or same sites with both. Do they have access to your home computer? Or did they, perhaps? Have you run a scan, lately?

This may be a dumb question but how can you tell if they are trying to take over an email account. ???

I'm running linux/ubuntu not windows. The linux OS is like a Mac where they can't get any viruses etc. I had both email accounts linked so that's probably how they knew.

They already changed my password but I was able to have it sent to yet ANOTHER backup email account and switch it.

Cool.....makes sense with the accounts being linked.

Craiger they are out in the day hours as well. I had Rainbow in a cage out on my deck. I was only a few feet away looking at him when one came and set a few inches from his face. It was mid day!!! I also had picked some large dandelions from our yard. Looked them over and washed them one by one. I cut them up in teeny tiny pieces and stuck them in Yosh's enclosure. Came back much later to see where he had eaten some of it and laying right out in the open was a headless firefly. I ALMOST died!!! If you pick from your yard, look the plant over really good!! I have NO idea how I missed it, but I did.

Good advice, Vesta. Might want to try posting it in the right thread, though. LOL!
