Hacked email account

TAG
TAG Posts: 2,823 Forumite
Hi

I hope you guys will be able to help me. My email account has been hacked and 'someone' is very kindly **rolls eyes** sending emails from it as if there's no tomorrow.

I found a previous thread and have -

Downloaded Malwarebytes, run a full scan, deleted what was found and rebooted. The Malwarebytes log is listed below.

Just going to download the Hijack this stuff and will post that hen it's done.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

  • you need to contact your ISP if you're unable to change your password yourself and get the account blocked. I think.

    What kind of e-mail? Hotmail, gmail or via your ISP?
  • are you sure it's been hijacked?

    There are lots of spam emails which show the recipient as the sender, which makes it look like you've sent an email to yourself.

    They've not hacked your account to do this though.

    Hi googler

    My email account is still an AOL one, who I was my previous ISP.
    Now with Virgin Media. I continued to use my email account with AOL rather than have to change everything.

    Trouble is I can't suss out how to change my password. I can change the security question ok but there doesn't seem to be anyway for me to change my actual password.

    No it's my account that's sending the emails out to people as if they are from me. But it's not me that's sending them.
