Arrgghhh!! (vent)

Last week my email was hacked and a message with a link to a Canadian Pharmacy was sent to everyone on my contact list. This past weekend it happend again so I deleted the account and started using an alternate email address I had set up as my main. Well this morning I had an email with the same link from my old address (Its not officially closed until I don't log in for so many days). So I had to re-activate the account, delete all my contacts and change my password before deleting it again. Hopefully that will work this time! I've sent out two emails to everyone apologizing and explaining I'd been hacked.

 Who in the world has enough time on their hands to hack someones email and send out emails about Viagra and Cialis?! Yes the link that was in the email was about Viagra and Cialis so everyone pretty much knew it wasn't me who'd sent it lol

  • How annoying! I keep getting emails from a contact that are something like that and I just ignore them and delete them. Maybe its a computerized thing or maybe its some zitty 15 year old boy bored in his basement. Its hard to tell but you just want to find them and be like, why don't you become a productive member of society? Good luck with it all.

  • Another thing I just thought of....I dont know who your email carrier is (?) hotmail or gmail or whatever but maybe you should let them know..perhaps someone has hacked into their system and is stealing all the passwords. If you've already changed yours once then it seems like it may not stop until the email people stop it.

  • Yeah, usually just changing your password fixes the problem.  It's never happened to me (knock on wood), but I know lots of people that have had their accounts hacked.

  • I have an account with Live Mail, or Bing, whichever you want to call it. If I keep getting emails even though I've changed the password and deleted the account I'll contact them and let them know whats going on.

  • Thats crazy and it sucks! Sorry you are having to deal with all of that!
  • I'm sorry you have to deal with that. I think it is hotmail in general, because my boss was telling me she was getting emails from her brother with that same link.

    I keep getting emails from people in different countries asking for money or asking me if I want a job. I just delete them
