A hacker keeps taking control of my hot mail and my ea account. I've changed them back only for them to reset them and now i cant get in at all :/ For some reason my my trusted pc wont reset my hotmail, i'm guessing it's due to a reformat? It's really doing my head in :/ I've done a virus check and had some that i've now cleared but i dont know what to do as it's really annoying.

Not sure what to do to be honest :/
 
I couldnt because it wouldnt let me change it due to it not recognising my pc as the trusted pc and then they changed it before i could install windows live essentials as you need that to confirm changes (which is a load of bull). I think the email address thats taking it is something like [email protected] or something like that.
 
Well ichanged it with them yesterday, but if the hacker is going to keep changing it back with ease then what the hell can i do? ;/
 
Yeah i think i'm going to have to change all my accounts to a different email if i can get into the old one and recover my ea account too. Just annoying. I have a firewall on the router and on my pc plus no physical keylogger. Wish i could rip this hacking ***** balls off!
 
The thing is, i was in the process of installing that crappy microsoft essentials to change all my security settings but he hacked me just as i was changing them as i was still logged in so it wouldnt accept my changes :S
 
Thats what i was in the process of doing lol! I cant recover it at all now as it's saying i've tried too many times today :/
 
I assume your reinstall is with legit media and not some warez copy that potentially comes with root kit flavor?

EDIT: if they are this persistant tho it almost sounds personal - you sure its not someone you know IRL messing around?

Nope, legit install. And i don't think it is personal, i had some viruses on my pc somehow even though i have av ect!
 
Haha no it's not facing a window! But i do have 4 cats and a dog so maybe one of them has decided to terrorise me lol! :D
 
It's annoying as im really careful of what sites i go on ect and i'm not stupid when it comes to emails from nigeria ect so it takes the p!

Someone accessed my hotmail account sent a bunch of spam to my contacts list and various other addresses, then after formatting my computer and changing password and security settings, someone gains access to my account again and does the same thing?

Yes i agree its not been hacked or accessed in any way...

That's bizzare!
 
You big noob Fiocca ;)


Go change all your passwords and secret questions on a different PC and then format your actual PC?

Haha thanks mate!

well the problem is you cant change the security things on anything but your trusted pc, because i've done a reformat it doesnt recognise my pc now hence having to install the microsoft essentials before i can confirm the changes. I didn't know that and didnt install it in time before the git re-hacked it!

And now i can't recover it at all at the moment!
