Dai the Socket Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 Change passwords to something that's absolutly, 100% NOT guessable. Nothing related to you and 100% memorise it. Maybe like 2 random number plates you see on the motorway? Take the first part of one, then second of another. Memorise. That's your password. Never, EVER tell anyone. Make sure you only put it in on secure computers and have 'password saving' OFF so it doesn't auto-fill passwords for other people. It's worked for me. It will work for you. 100%. Fact. Or use this password generator: Here. Hope I Helped. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 The best way to get into people hotmail accouts is by guessing thier secret password. Its easy (i'v done it). But with that you have to change your password, so people can't be doing that, as you can still get into your own account. Do you uses a sheard computer at all, if yes thats your answer, got a friend who had a bit of bother with that. I highly doubt people are proporly hacking into your account.

David Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 'Hacking' hotmail is pretty much impossible. Make sure youve got no trojans or anything on your pc or spyware etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 Haha, as if anyone's gonna "hack" your MSN and just delete some contacts? "Hi, I'm Tarquin, I'm a computer hacker, but I cause as little trouble as I can." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Nichols Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 Hehe spot on Tomm! Basically this is not a hacker. It's more likely somebody doing a bit of social engineering (people hacking) or something similar. Do you really think if somebody had the skills to 'hack' msn they'd be pissing around with YOUR contacts! I don't think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 Are you sure its not one of your friends or someone else in your house? If you've set your MSN to sign in automatically at a friends house by mistake then they could be fooling around with it, or if youve got brothers or sisters and its set to sign in automatically then they might be messing around with it... Just a suggestion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials boy Joe Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 People changed my password but not my secret question so i could reset my password. To make sure it didnt happen again i changed my secret question to "number" and then hit about 15 different numbers in a random order and then wrote it down so i would remember it and that nobody could possibly guess it :P PROBLEM SOLVED NO MORE HACKERS. Hope I help :P JOE :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
