84670 2002-09-30 07:39:00 Hacked? Or have you forgotten your password?

How do you know you have been hacked...... I say this, because I couldn't open my Hotmail the other day. Ended up being a glitch

84671 2002-09-30 07:42:00 Before you do anything else I'd suggest you make sure the Caps lock on your keyboard is not locked on.

It's not likely that your "Hotmail ID" has been hacked, if anything has been hacked it will be your password, especially if you use a public computer and failed to log off properly and your password was left in the PC's cache.

In any event, next to the Hotmail log-in box is a link "Forgot your password?". Click on this and it will allow you to reset the password, provided you can remember the details you originally provided when you opened the account.

There are over 10 million free Hotmail accounts so understandably Microsoft has no interest in your problem. Unless you can sucesfully reset your password, there is no other way of retreiving your E-mail from this account.

84672 2002-09-30 08:18:00 Out of the blue a friend told me his Hotmail a/c was hacked. I didn't believe it but low and behold somone started chatting under my friends messenger ( I verified it was not my friend ) I discussed this with my companies computer expert he told me it would take a real professional hacker to do it and this person did not talk like a prof hacker. It is more likely they found out the password somehow. bruciebear (1478)
84673 2002-09-30 08:23:00 Some months ago there was a reported way to hack hotmail accounts. It was meant to be relatively simple. All you needed to know was when a message had been received into a particular account. This problem has supposedly been fixed though. Gorela (901)
84674 2002-09-30 11:22:00 I caught my daughter trying to hack into her ex-boyfriend's account last week . She had got info off the net somewhere on how to do it but she's not that much of a geek and wasn't successful .

She reckons she knows someone who can do it but I don't know how true this is .

84675 2002-09-30 11:51:00 One method of hacking Hotmail accounts is to send your email address and password, along with the victims email address, to a "real" sounding automated Hotmail hack adress.

Of course all you are doing is supplying someone your details, and it is likely they will pass this on to your "victim".

You can say goodbye to your address then.

84676 2002-09-30 11:55:00 Susan, Mind you The Register gives pretty good examples along with Root-Core on the Hotmail exploits. The_Register (www.theregister.co.uk) Root-Core (http://www.root-core.com/)

84678 2002-09-30 12:14:00 there are several ways which he might have fallen victim to, which include

1/ he was chatting on messenger, got sent a 'program', which is a very small, well distributed trojan (a very small one which does its job pretty much), executed it, and was disconnected, tried to re-sign in, and inadvertently, sent the details, which he used to sign in with the second time, to the person who sent the executable (ive done a few times on mates, just for a laugh :?)

2/ someone just guessed his 'secret question', which is a lot easier to guess, seeing as you have some sort of clue as to what to guess, did he try getting back into his account through the secret question?
