Mail **

[ivebeenhacked]

Hi everyone

I just discovered that someone I know somehow hacked my email account, he gets ccs from my emails everything I'm sending gets to him.

Please tell me how to stop this. Please.

Sounds like your friend set up an alias and all your mail goes to you and him, unless he has an automatic forward set up. Either way he did not hack your account, you probably left your account open for him to get a hold of. It takes me *0 seconds (no exaggerated) to log in to an admin account and set up an alias or mail forward. What mail server are you logging in to? Does he have admin privileges?

Sorry I thought I would get a notification on my email when I got a reply but I didn't

Anyways, I'm on gmail, & I don't really know what admin priviledges mean... But how can I find out how he did this & undo it ?
I thought maybe I got hacked or something because I don't get any proof on my email that the mails are being sent to him you know?

some commercial keyloggers like spector will forward emails.

ok but how do i undo it?

Process of elimination. First scan your computer for a keylogger by using spyware/virus scanner. If nothing is found, change your password and look at your mail settings for forwards and aliases.

ok i just realized now that he has access to my msn account conversations also, which i don't even save. I did change my password, but I have no way of knowing if he can still read my now or not. I'll do a scan now, but when you say keylogger, does it mean it's a virus? or is it a file with a specific extension? sorry i really don't know shit about that stuff, that's why i'm here

Read about keyloggers here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keystroke_logging
First, update your virus scanner, and then scan your computer. Then get A-squared free,
