So very pissed! My email account was hacked yesterday. Most of yesterday and today spent alerting

5. That happened to me recently, too.

I think it was from leaving it "logged in" before I closed it. It was a pain, especially since it sent outrageous emails requesting money to people on my contact list.

And now I get lots of junk mail of a sexual nature that I never got before. I agree:

8. I'm sure it originated from my exDoctor's email account. It's the second time but he refuses to

change his account.

7. My old sbcglobal.net email account got hacked several months

ago and I have not been able to delete it. Every now and then everybody that was in my old address book gets a spam email.

9. I can delete mine, but it's tied to my iPad so I will lose everything on it if I delete it

completely before changing all my Apple ID info.

10. Happened to my Hotmail account, a number of months ago.

I could not fix the account - Microsoft closed it down.

I am glad I had another account to use, but the hotmail account was useful for business uses, and reduced the amount of spam I got in my regular email account.

I'd had the hotmail account for so long that I could not remember which password I'd used to set it up.

My cat was sitting on my arms while I was trying to fix the problem by answering the security questions. That did not work out to well. I made a typo because of her sitting on me like that, and hotmail shut me out of the account.

I could not fix it, so I let it go.

It was a hassle, setting up my other account to connect with all my contacts.

A pox on nasty random hackers.
