Okay, looks like my post disappeared!!

I have a suspicious feeling that my email is being hacked into. Is it possible for someone to hack into my email account (NO ONE has my password)? It is a .mac account and I have another "paid for" mail account.

If this is possible, does anyone know how to block this from happening?

Thanks

Laura

unless you gave someone your info, use an unsafe computer elsewhere, then yes...

went to a website that phished your info, yes


login into your email, change your password and change your passwords on everything else....


be safe, dont click on links you dont know or from people you dont know, play it safe and proceed with caution.

Thanks alot, Mathiau.

The problem is that I think someone I know is doing the hacking! I will change all of my passwords. What a pain. This person lives in a different country, so I'm not worried about the person having physical access to my computer.

Thanks again
Laura
