Hello,
My MSN account was hacked into several days ago. The very next day private emails were distributed for others to see which was an envasion of my privacy. I filed a report with MSN but they're asking me to send them IP addresses through windows firewall. This didn't happen on my personal computer but took place elsewhere. How would I be able to get this information when it didn't happen on my PC?? I know for a fact that someone got into my account and would LOVE to be able to trace this back and find out who did this to me. Also the emails that got out were fwd'd elsewhere, how would I tell where it was fwd'd too???! Please help. :)

PC

Configuration: Windows Vista
Internet Explorer 7.0

It's not possible for you to find out who did it to you and where they live unless they tell you.

You weren't "hacked". You did one of the following:

A.) Downloaded a program infected with a trojan, which allowed that person full access to your computer (even the ability to see which keys you press on the keyboard).

B.) Your password was -way- too easy to guess (i.e. "password")

C.) You use the same password for EVERYTHING and another website you're registered with was compromised and your login information was obtained from that.

D.) You gave out your password.

I haven't downloaded any programs, I have a new laptop with everything already on it. My password was difficult to figure out but on MSN you can get into someone's acct especially if you know some information on them, and you only need 2 out of 4 of the questions right in order to do so. I definitely didn't give out my password and I don't use the same passwords on other sites that I use. It's just ironic that I couldn't get into my account and then the following day certain emails were distributed that were two months old. I have a good idea of how this may have happened. Thanks for your help and advice anways!! I really appreciated it.

He is right, you could not of got hacked any other way. Perhaps if someone was important and something worth hacking was inside your mail-box it is possible a professional hacker did it... but im guessing your just using MSN to talk to buddies and maybe register to a porno site or two.

I personally think one of your own m8s diddled you out of your password or have a keylogger on a PC you logged into (not at your house, someone elses).

This statment is incorrect there are many ways to obtain email passwords by redirecting the retrieval emails to your own email address. My MSN was hacked buy this same method, I did some research as well as asking around. It turned out just some script kiddy DL'd a program that send the password retrieval emails to his own email address. I used the same program to get my MSN back....

Anonymous is right.

Trojan Viruses - are very powerful viruses, that the hacker create. The hacker using Trojan viruses, can see everything what you do, what you type, which program you use. Sometimes you never know that you have Trojan Virus, Trojan Viruses can trick anti virus programs by passing the test(scan). ( I once got one, it did nothing, just sat in the folder thats all. Removed Trojan by hand, moving it to the Recycle Bin, and then emptying Recycle bin. Problem was solved.)

Sometimes Botting( most people use a bots in game) program secretly writes down what you type in your MSN, yahoo, games, etc in any programs. Like Password, your Username, etc. Then it sends to the owner who created this program.( I have game botting program for game, sent by use, and not downloaded directly from any weird sites. It was scanned, safe. Be careful which program you download.)

Hackers: you gave out your ID, they hacked your ID by changing easily the password in the program.
Most people can do it. Thats why most sites have "Use different nickname" Option, which covers your True ID, and no one can hack you so easily)

You shared with someone, that possible too. Even if you don't use email, to log into game for example : Shared account, using same password as you do in MSN, and you also gave email in case.

And possible, you use same ID, and Same Password in other sites. ( I use same password, and no one can log in into my privacy, because the password is case Sensentive) And yea your password might be too easy to type. make it 8 characters or more ( Numbers , small letters and big Letters)

The same thing has happened to me. The trojans, fake attachments, etc. always originate from China. I personally think the Chinese are latching onto certain computers and using them for their own ends. That is what happens when a computer becomes compromised, the hacker takes control of it anytime he/she wishes. And I think that they troll certain sites and use a number of phishing methods to snare people. The best thing to do is not click on strange attachments and to delete old files, but the problem still exists. It isn't just the Chinese government doing it, the hacker culture is worshipped over there and they look for any means to steal information and to cripple sites that they do not like. And if they have control of certain computers, they will attempt to manipulate what the computer's user sees and does on his/her own computer.

I FIND THIS PERSON WHO SAYS YOU CAN NOT BE HACKED FULL OF CRAP BECAUSE I WAS HACKED AND THE HACKER TOLD ME IN AN IM HE HOPES I ENJOY ALL THE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK I'LL GET FROM THE HORRIBLE EMAILS HE SENT TO ALL MY CONTACTS.. I FIGURED HIM OUT AND CALLED HIM OUT ON IT THATS WHEN HE HACKED ME TWICE IN A ROW. THE BEST WAY TO BE SAFE AFTER IS TO DELETE THAT ACCOUNT AND CREATE A NEW ONE, DONT TALK TO STRANGERS AND DONT SAVE ANY A N Y PERSONAL INFORMATION IN YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNTS AND D O N T SAVE ANY PICTURES IN YOUR EMAIL YOU WANT SENT TO STRANGERS OR DELETED BY ANYONE. ALWAYS REPORT THE ABUSE GIVE ANY AND ALL DETAILS. GO TO WWW.WHATISMYIP.COM AND AT THE TOP IS YOUR IP ADDRESS GET THAT AND KEEP IT SO YOU CAN COMPARE WHOS IS YOURS AND WHOS ISNT FOR WHEN YOU ARE OR HAVE BEEN HACKED. HACKING IS REAL! HACKING IS ILLEGAL!

Okay i know how you can fix this i have a solution get phone tracker on your phone then track him down get acsess to his computer. i know this sounds a bit silly but search on his computer C H O B O T S it is a verry powerful virus website (dont ask i was warned by my boss) click it then delite all of his virus protectors (warning: delite them befor gaining acsess) also befor u gain acsess make sure you team with a friend to make him destracted all you need is 15 mins your friend can tolilet paper his house and smack him ect i would advise going on my computer then delite file/folder and delite them after that jump out his window then get back home and go on his computer gain acsess and destroy all his privacy pretty simple.

source:i only know this because im a profeshanal spy k? i have permishion by law k? so no tattle talers if they is they should get sent to court also inform the cort u r doin this k
