hi there~

My account now suddenly send out a lot of message to unknown accounts and all are the same message. I guess my account is hacked by someone. Other than changing to other password, is there any other ways to solve this problem? Because i changed my password 3 times before when I encountered this kind of problems in the past. Is there anyway to report this kind of problems?

What if someone boldly tells you that he/she has been hacking your emails and even make copies and publish. Is there no punishment or legal claim for such persons?

Hi everyone –

I haven’t been replying, because there hasn’t really been any more for me to say, and other people here have given some EXCELLENT advice and feeback, some of which I am going to follow myself.

I wish I knew the UK and Netherlands laws and actions you can take, but I don’t – however, maybe by posting here, someone else can help you? (Or you’ll end up helping someone else?)

I was so angry when I was hacked – in fact, I’m still angry about it. It’s probably lame to say, “Sorry, that’s all I got,” but it is. I wish you all luck with your individual journeys.

I have had problems with hackers and email hacking for years now. Not all of them have been malicious (I guess). The latest trick was that folders, where I saved friends and business email, in one email account (account A), mysteriously appeared in another, newly created email account (account B), although I had not given the second email address (account B) to any contacts in the first email address (account A). Nor had any mail been sent from the first (aacount A) to the second email address (account B).

A couple of friends have had their PayPal accounts fraudulently used, but the money was later refunded by PayPal. I received an email from a friend in California, which was in Chinese. She doesn’t speak Chinese. However, once opened, the email injected a worm onto my pc. There were no images in the email, no attachments, nor did I click on any links. As soon as I saw the Chinese characters, I realised that I had a problem and deleted the email straight away, without checking the message header (as Rose recommended above). After a couple of weeks, I had to erase my hard drive and format it, because nothing was working properly on my pc any longer.

Most of my problems have been with GMail and Yahoo! Mail.

Another anomaly is that many combinations of my name have already been registered by someone else (or others) with Yahoo! Mail, GMail, Googlemail and Hotmail. I have an unusual name (first and last). When I checked a few years ago all these email addresses were available, but after I started getting hacker attacks and wanted to create a new email account, most combinations of my name were suddenly no longer available.

In 2009 when I attempted to register a couple of domain names for a new business, using my first and last name, i.e.unusualname.com and unusualname.co.uk, those domains were already taken. However, no websites existed for those domains. In other words, someone was tie-ing up possible email and domain names that I might want to use.

At the time when I started a new business, a fake (and libellous) Supreme Court document linking my name to hideous crimes was posted online and showed at the top of a Google search when anyone did a search of my name.

I went to the police about the various cyber harassments, but have had no redress to date. The police here in London have said that it is not their job to investigate cyber crime. Does anyone know whom to contact here in the United Kingdom about these crimes?
