This is so strange, someone has been hacking my gmail account for the past one month and I am sick and tired of it now.I have a business gmail account and have a lot'd of people who write back to me inquiring about our business.One day I got this message from one of our clients saying that it was really strange that we were asking them for $800, I was shocked to read this and I checked my outbox and I was really shocked to see that there was someone who has been sending emails to my clients asking them for money to help him with some kind of promotions, none of the clients replied back but one of them did and that's how I got to know that my account was hacked. I changed my password several times but he keeps coming back, what do I do now. I am really fed-up of this now, and how many times can keep on changing my account? Isn't there any way I can get rid of this hacker permanently. Did this happen to before?

one of my yahoo account was hacked too and the hacker was sending spams on those on my list. i found out about it when i was logged into my other yahoo account and got a message from my other yahoo account, i changed the password right away in all of my accounts, and i had my computer reformatted too.
i suggest you backup all your important files, and format your computer again, the hacker may have installed something in your device that can track whatever you are typing on the keyboard... i dont really know if this is true, but i have heard of this many times already. i will try to research on this, as i havent yet researched this... but better to be safe.

Oh this is so sick. It was ok if it was my personal account but being a business account its really a problem for me as you know our clients might mis-understand us. I tried changing my password but he managed to login again. Its really shocking and annoying to. I have changed my password again, hope it works otherwise I will have to format it.

Oh! i had the same problem with my hotmail accoubt a couple of months back. Luckily i used this id only for personal contacts but even then it was too annoying to know that somebody was sending mails to all my contacts on some promotion and stuff like that.
Later, i found that all my contact list had vanished and now i'm not able to track my family and friends' id :S

Oh! only one person fromt eh contact informed me about that but he knew that i wasn't sending all the spam mails. So it was fine. As soon as i read the person's mail i passed on my appologies and consent to everyone onthe list. And after that all the contacts vanished :)
