| Hey guys/gals...My brother just called me to inform me that my |
|
e-mail has apparently been hacked into. He received 2 e-mails asking for money for a trip back to England. I'm going to download malewarebytes after I run my Comodo virus scan, but my question at the moment is, is there any way I can track this back to the hacker fix this somehow?
Thanks!

| 1. You can't say for sure |

that your personal email has been hacked. It's more likely that someone with your address in their email address book has collected a mass-mailing worm and your brother has received an email that looks as though it's come from you but hasn't.

the other thing is, when I went to my e-mail, it was being Forwarded, I can tell some stuff was missing that I didn't delete. I went to Custom and clicked "don't forward".
I tried to change my password, but could not remember my "secret" questions answer...:eyes:
