Become a and go ad-free! Email Email hacks are one of the easiest to recognize, because your contacts may be the first to know. If you suddenly get multiple messages from your contacts, saying they’ve received email from your address — not your name, your actual email address — there’s a pretty good chance your email account has been hacked. That this rash of reports comes from your contacts — the entries in your contacts list or address book — is important. Spammers can easily send email that looks like it’s coming from you without hacking your account.
It’s called “” and doesn’t use your account at all. Spammers just forge email and send it out to random people on the internet.
On the other hand, if you’re getting multiple reports from people listed in your address book, that’s the clue that something’s up. The spammer may have hacked your account and could be using your address book as a target for their messages. If this is happening to you right now, review my article, “.” It lists the steps you need to take. It’s not enough to just change your password; there are other things you need to do as well. Computer When hackers attack a computer, they go to great lengths to hide. That means you can’t always easily determine what’s wrong.
I do have an article, “” which might give you a good start. There are a couple of possible indications that something is up. An abnormal increase in internet or activity.
Unless you actively monitor your internet connection (I know of no one who does), this usually manifests as slow internet access when you know you’re not doing anything special. In recent years, this has become significantly more difficult to diagnose, however, since most people have so multiple devices connected to the internet that could be hogging the connection.
Unexpected disk activity. This is a similar scenario; a or is accessing files on your computer.
This is one of the early warning signs of performing its malicious task. Again, you have to know what’s normal and what’s not. The problem is that many programs access the disk even when you’re not using the computer. Prevention is significantly easier than detection. Follow the guidelines outlined in to prevent this from ever happening in the first place.
It’s very difficult for the average computer user to tell if their computer has been hacked. Like email, a of your Facebook account tends to be clearer than that of your computer. The first sign is when posts or messages appear on Facebook that look like they came from you, but you know you had nothing to do with it. It’s important to note that liking a page or playing a game can sometimes allow them to post things on your behalf.
That’s generally not a sign of a hack. It’s when something appears that could only have been posted or messaged by you, and yet you know you didn’t, that we suspect a hack. Once again, the same kinds of things we discussed in respect to email apply to Facebook. You need to change your password and change (or at least confirm) your recovery settings.
What about passwords? One thing I haven’t mentioned at all yet is passwords.
By far the most common sign that your account has been hacked is that you can no longer log in, because your password has been changed. That’s a pretty clear sign, and has a pretty clear resolution path: use the account recovery options you’ve set up to recover access to your account. Hackers are sneaky, though.
Sometimes they’ll purposely leave the password unchanged to delay your discovery of the problem. The longer you don’t realize it, the longer they can do whatever the heck they’re doing. Have you been hacked? What tipped you off? As you can tell, unless your password’s been changed, it can be difficult to tell you’ve been hacked at all. If that’s happened to you, I’d be interested in learning how you figured it out. What kinds of things tipped you off?
What made you suspicious? Leave a comment below with your experience. It's natural to want to find who hacked your email and why. Begin by recovering and securing your account. But then, just let it go. There's almost nothing you or I can do to find out who hacked you.

When a hacker has access to your email account, they can do anything - even change settings you know nothing about. Let's take a look at some of the possible dangers. Facebook account hacks happen. There are steps you need to take, not only to recover your account but to prevent it from being hacked again. It can be surprisingly hard to tell if an email account has been hacked, especially when the hackers are covering their tracks.
I'll show you a few possible signs. Posted: May 17, 2018 in: Shortlink: TAGS:,. Regarding email hacking, Leo’s article describes the case of a person, say A, suffering an email hack (contacts/address book compromised), whereupon A’s address book contacts, say B, C and D, receive emails apparently from A, without A being aware of it (and without any sign in the “Sent” folder). Question: Is it possible that under the same circumstance (A’s email hacked), dodgy emails can appear to have been sent, not by A, but by one of those contacts, say B, and are received by A, C and D? So they all think the hack is of B’s email, whereas it is actually of A’s email? Thanks for yr advice, Bill.
I have a somewhat different problem. I sometimes get email from someone I know, but it is not from that person. For instance, John Doe has an address of “John Doe (john123 – at – gmail.com)”. That’s the real address. I might get one from “John Doe” with a subject of “Hey Joe”.
When I inspect the email address it is different – “John Doe (flub1 – at – yahoo.com)” or the newr ymail.com. It is always from a yahoo account. Most all are not in my email address book and I don’t keep any on line. In almost all cases they are people on my Facebook account.
Just in case, I have changed all email and Facebook passwords and security questions and answers. I do this every couple of months. If I find I need to change one, I do them all. This is actually very common from spoofing. In addition there was (or perhaps still is) a way that spammers could divine the relationships you might have on Facebook – i.e. Who your friends are.
They couldn’t get the email address, but they could get the names. So in order to trick people into opening their spams they created messages that look like they come from your friends – by name, but not by actual email address. There’s nothing that can be done about this at this point, and there’s nothing really that you need to do. Mohdabraar, I’m taking a wild guess here that you may be confused about the way posts happen in Facebook. It is easy to be confused because it really is confusing! When your friends make a post it often (not always) shows up on your wall. So they could very well be posting things about you without hacking your account at all.
If the posts are actually comments to things you have posted on your timeline you can delete them. If they are on your wall you can only hide them. And you can also take steps to report bad behavior to Facebook. So, if you take Leo’s advice and make sure you have exclusive control of your account, then that is the next thing to look for. I was reading this article and had to comment.
My husband has been having an issue with his facebook. He is really not that computer saavy as I am but his facebook keeps getting hacked. He is out of the country right now and we use facebook as the main form of communication. Someone keeps getting into his facebook account and deleting me from his friends list and blocking me. I have had to create several accounts just to get a hold of him. He says he doesn’t know how this is happening. He created another account yesterday and everything was fine until today when the same issue popped up.
Someone logged onto his account, saw the message that I sent him and then blocked me. How can this possibly happen? Is my facebook being hacked? I usually have 99+ unread messages and on (other )messages I had 79.I logged in yesterday and all my unread fb messages were all opened,I only had 36 unread and they opened all my(other messages ) so I immediately changed my password. And marked all unread but after I changed my password it marked” read” 3 specific messages and I would remark them “unread”and they would go back and mark them “read” but nothing else was different in my fb just that they had opened all the mesaages and kept doing so even when I changed my password.I dont know if this is a hacker or it has something to do with my laptop. Hi Leo, I hope you can help me.
I saw a nude email that was sent from my husbands email to one of his contacts through MSN. He swore up and down he didn’t send it. He claims his email for MSN was hacked. Is that possible for a nude picture to be sent of his body isf his computer/iPhone/email was hacked.
Also I emailed the lady who he sent the picture to a week ago. I started getting phone calls yesterday telling me that he was in Kansa with another woman. Today I received an email with a plane ticket confirmation that was purchased by the woman he sent a picture to, to go to Kansas at the same time he was there for work. I emailed her back.
She told me she did not see him in Kansas nor did she receive a picture of his penis. She said her email was hacked and the ticket was fake. Is this possible? It all came from her email. My email was hacked on Sept. The hacking involved changing my user name to a derogatory name. I only know of two individuals who would do this, but of course can’t prove it.
Now, I find out that my Facebook password was changed two days later on Sept 14, but not by me. Is there a way to find out what the password was changed to? I would like to know if the same derogatory name was used there as well, which will connect the two incidents, although it’s circumstantial.
We have not had our personal information stolen, as there’s been no evidence of identity theft. We do have securities set on our machine as well, but this is a unique situation, as it seems the goal of this hacking is to harass. Any help in figuring out if I can track the hacking to a specific IP address? I suddenly saw a popup message saying that a new device had connected to my computer.
It didnt give me the option to accept or not. Since then I have had buzzing noise going on and off on the pc and when I was on MS Word typing a resume at one point all my resume started to delete (had to switch pc off to avoid losing it all). Its been making strange sounds since and ocassionally the curser is changing shape etc. Has someone hacked into my computer.
I have McAfee Anti-Virus Plus. Starting to think it is a useless thing to have? I don’t know how this could have happened and hope that maybe you culd shed some light on it. Two individual accounts – my husbands email address and my facebook account both hacked into simultaneously. There is no link whatsoever between the two accounts. His email was hacked into and his contact list exported then deleted off his account. I received an email (my own address) supposedly from him staying he was stranded abroad with no cash.
The ‘reply to’ wa directed to a similarly named account on hotmail.com. At the same time, my FB was hacked into – the contact email address changed to the very same email address composed by the hacker as a return address for my husbands email!! Do you have any ideas as to how a link could be made between the two accounts please? My facebook passord is unknown to my husband so it is not likely to be inside one of his emails either sent or received. There is no link to my husbands email address on my facebook either online or by PM’s.
Any ideas would be gratefully received. It’s possible that a hacker has gained access to your account and is traveling around and using it.
It would have nothing to do with an Android phone. A hacker could access the account from any smartphone, tablet or computer. It’s also possible that you are making a mistake with your password after changing it yesterday, and that’s why you can’t get in. Your ISP is the entity that would show as the location for your last session – that could be miles away from you. For instance, I live in Idaho and my location often shows as Kalispell Montana which is where my ISP’s servers are located. So the first thing you should do is simply try to recover your password.
Here’s a good article on that. Leo’s comment on September 19 from last year begins: “There is no way to find out what an account’s password.is., you can only reset it to regain control.” If this is true, can you explain what might have happened in my case? A few days ago, I discovered a pending friend request that I never sent on Facebook to a profile that was clearly fake (I reported it to Facebook and it was gone the next day).
I also immediately changed my password, but after researching the difficulty of hacking Facebook, I decided that I needed to reset it again to ensure that my new password was nearly impossible to break using a laptop and standard hacking techniques. I assumed that my account was hacked, but I always had control over the password. (I didn’t think to check to see what devices were logged into the account, which might not have shown a hacker anyway, if he wasn’t currently logged in). I have no idea how long this pending request was on my account, but the profile seemed to have been created in January, so it could have been nearly three months. Yet if I was hacked, the friend request was the only change on my account, a change that I might never have noticed since I rarely send out friend requests and have not once in 8 years checked to see what requests I still have pending. As someone being cyberstalked, I can imagine that my stalker was either using access to my Facebook account for information and left the profile as a nasty Easter egg for me to discover so that I’d know he’d been watching me or he left it as a backwards friend request (he seems delusional and thinks that we’re having an affair that needs to be kept secret from my husband). Yes, I’ve reported this to the police, but I’m still anxious to know how it was done.
I suppose he could have guessed my old password, which wasn’t nearly as strong as I’d imagined. He might also have used cookies at an open hot spot, but I can’t recall the last time I brought my laptop any place with open wifi where he could have predicted I’d be. “Could and would Facebook hack my email account?” – No and no. On mobile, Facebook asks for permission to access your contacts but it’s entirely optional, on both computers and mobile – and the company certainly wouldn’t hack your email account were you to deny permission. Beyond that, it’s all about who you’re friends with, who they’re friends with, how many friends you, have in common and whatever other data you choose to provide (education and employment history, places lived, etc., etc.). That data is then crunched by a series of surprisingly complex algorithms to predict which people you’re likely to know. The process is uncannily accurate sometimes, but there’s nothing sinister about it.
It’s just math. Nicole- 6/10/16 7:40 P.M. I’ve been reading your comments to the questions. How do I keep my computer safe? How do I prevent it from cybersecurity, identity theft, hackers, geeks, freeks, genius, viruses, and more? Can you let me know.
My major problem is that I have to share this computer with my parents. My dad uses it for work and to look into his mail. My mom just uses it to look in her mail, and delete some of her old mail. Me on the other hand, I have my own email address and I’ve been looking online for a husband.
I’m interested in marriage. But, I haven’t had any luck.
A lot of those online sites want photos so you can get matched with someone. And I don’t know how to send a photo. But, I still want to prevent hackers and identity thief.
I would really appreciate it if you can help me keep the computer safe. I don’t want anything strange or bizarre happening on this computer. That’s why safety is important. This could be done by someone who knows both you (they know your phone number) and your boyfriend. It would be someone who either knows the password to his account, or your boyfriend has a password which is easy to guess. The first thing he should do is change his password and check to see if the account recovery information is his.
If any other email addresses of phone numbers show up, he should delete them. He should also note what those are, because it’s likely they belong to the hacker. If he can still get into his account, he can skip step 1. There’s no way to prove it wasn’t you. I do not have agoogle acct I will be happy to donate via paypal. The last few weeks the name of a UK charity for animals, I paypal donated to, and phone called.
HOW could her e-mail address —-org appear on my PC. As a optional e-mail address for me to use???? ( ie when I went to a web page to get work information, )as i started to type in the first letter of my yahoo e-mail; as BOTH of my normal e-mail addresses appeared as an option; a THIRD OPTIONAL e-mail address ( the name of a girl of a UK charity I sent funds to and she said she e-mailed me thru microsoft outlook but I Never got it! Her name e-mail popped up as third optional e-mail, though which do you want to use, BUT as thou it was a another person using my pC and that was the option e-mail address. BUT only I have access to my acct. THAT I KNOW OF!!
I am loosing my mind. I’ve went thru 3 fones. They’ve all been conprimised.i k ow who did it but can’t prove it yet. My emails,Facebook,Google+,and Facebook Messenger all have been hacked. One fone scared me. I was sitting with 2 people in my home,a relatively quiet night.
All of a sudden I cud hear a strange noise. Know that my SIMcarx is in my bfs cell at this time ok. Now Iook down at the cell and pick it up and my nieces number came upas if she was ok the fone,I say “HELLO?HELLO?” As normal ppl do when someone is on the fone and talking.I put the fone to my ear and listen. I almost pooped my pants. It was playing back the conversation the 3 of us had 2 minutes prior. I freaked right out.
Today I’m TRYING to get Facebook Messenger back up and running. I’ve been totally not able to do this. Even with a new email addy. So I try to load my PASSWORD into messenger which does have my bfs name in it with numbersand HIS name AND Messenger came up.WHY???? HE hasn’t been in my fone,you need my code and fingerprint.i do alot of research on things and I’ve learned alot about cell phones and yes I know it can be cracked and nobody is entirely safe but the buck hard to stop somewhere. Is this the hacker/stalker doing this? He’s never used my cell for FB OR MSGER.
I google the cramp outta google to find answers and I don’t believe my bf had a thing to do with this cuz he knows I’m trying to get proof of the idiot stalking me and I’ll be so happy if does time But he is ruining my life. I have every right to have a Facebook account n messenger. How do I get proof of this guy is doing this? I made a bunk FB acct to talk to my niece and only 3 ppl knew about it. So one day I got messenger to talk to her. She was not o line at the time. I open messenger and this guy AND his computer -geek cousin was there!!!!
It’s my only proof that he’s the one doing it.i need help and the police are redundant. I’m tired of this guy,I’m so emotional lately and feel like I can’t do anything on my cell cuz I’m being watched cuz of that recorded conversation and researched it and yes it comes up as being hacked. Gonna check again cuz I’m mow beyond seeing red,and I am as mad as a hatter.
Thank you for your time. Hey Leo, Odd Facebook email notifications behavior?? I get these Notification Emails from Facebook, telling me of activity; this is normal I assume. The issue I find puzzling; clicking on a link in any of these emails to further read the Notification, opens IE to a Facebook page that’s already logged in.
Does this seem right to you? Why is my Email Client, seemingly.
‘auto-logging’ me in before I even open the page? If someone in.
“Timbuctoo” read my email, could they be getting into my account? I have previously, on two occasions, gotten notices from Facebook that someone in Texas has tried to login to my account secure your account. Both times I changed my password, but if someone is getting in by just reading my mail, what good is a password? A concern I have is about some sort of man in the middle by Proxy server or spoofing attempt or attack may have happened to one specific account I visit online.
As recommended by the site, I use Google Auth for 2FA before accessing my personal account details on this particular site. For some reason, Cox Communications is always identified as the device or location in the next town.
So why does it verify my ISP but not my device or the town I’m at when logging in? Yahoo, FaceBook, Github, Apple and Gmail authentication protocol consistently detects the same town I am in when loggin in and specific IP on my computer and phone. I have a secure router, do not use a proxy server or VPN. I haven’t seen any information on 2FA or any form of authentication using the internet service providers IP address. Just need to know if this Is this how it should work? Or am I being spyed on or re-directed to a hacker?
I am also missing confirmation of important financial transactions done on this website. Contacted their Tech support. They did not see it on their end until I showed them actual screen shots. They said if I was able to log in then everything is fine. Suggested to contact my ISP if I’m still concerned. Maybe I should switch this service?
Better safe than sorry. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Hi Leo, Over the last few weeks I have a lot of emails from different sources wanting me to agree to updates in their privacy policies and wish to know if they are legitimate. I suspect they may be due to the recent Google breaches but wanted to be sure they are legitimate and not a clever hacking ploy.
They have to date come from organisations I deal with. I would also like to know if my practice of not logging off from many accounts such as Facebook, Google, email accounts etc for convenience is a bad practice and making it easier for hackers? Cheers and thanks in advance. Hi A couple of weeks ago I started receiving bounceback emails from outlook stating undeliverable and contacts replying saying they couldn’t open th email form me and to resend. I could see the emails in my sent items and they are all typical spam emails. Nothing further has happened since then and I can still log into my account. I am trying to change all my details but it’s providing to be difficult with outlook!
What do you think has happened? Is it hack or has my email just been spoofed? They email was from my email address and looked as tho it had come from me. Before commenting please:. Read the article.
