Someone keeps hacking into my myspace account. How can I stop this from happening?

Question

Someone keeps hacking into my myspace account and writes bullentins regarding that I joined a dating site. I never joined this dating site. This has happened about three times to me already and it is extremely annoying. What can I do about this? How can I prevent this from happening? Also, is it possible to find out who is doing this to me?

Answer 1

If someone says you joined a dating thing, it doesn't neccessarily mean someone "hacked" into your account, but merely that myspace is being abused. Who knows. This has happened to me before.

Some precautions you should take to safe keep any account:
Have a Spyware Program on your computer. Something called a keylogger can track every single key you hit! Be careful because this information is then emailed to them! Get Mcafee Anti-Virus if you don't have it already!

Never ever ever login to a website that isn't the same at the URL you intend to login to... example (www.myspace.com not www.fatlady.9.myspace.net.com - two totally different sites). Don't be a victim of a fake login.

Change your password periodically to prevent guessers from accessing you account. Add wierd symbols and use the shift key to reduce the odds of guessing. Don't choose a password that one of your friends might know.

And you should always have different passwords for every site you go to.

Seriously, people these days can get into your account easily if you don't do these things. Best of luck to you.

Hello, I think I know how they got your password to begin with. Its called a trojan. I don't want to get into detail about how these things work. But they allow the user to collect information on the victim like your password.

You should scan with AVG or Avast both are free and you only need to use one. I would also change the password and email. As mentioned above try to use a password that has numbers and letters.

Answer 3

Close this account and others associated with it.

Yes, and ........no. You could if you were resourceful get an ip address, but there is no guarantee this will be the person you seek. If they can hack you they have hacked others, part of the deal is using the isp's of innocent computers, and their address lists, to do their dirty work.

Online..........Less is WAY MORE.

Answer 4

Change your password, preferably to one you never had before, but you will still remember it. ... Write it down to.

And by judging that it has happened 3 times to you, its prolly someone close to you that knows your password. Or you clicked on a "fake" myspace that said for you to log in, and all the information went to their server and boom, they have it.

Watch your address bar! Just type in "www.myspace.com" yourself to avoid this to.

Answer 5

Use a much stronger password try this sight:

I'd pick a password at least 21 charecters long and all the boxes
checked.

Answer 6

change the password for the email you're using to get in myspace. after which, go change your myspace password. then file a complaint.

Answer 7

If a thief kept coming into your house every night without having to break in, what would you do? Maybe change the locks? Maybe change the locks and don't give out a spare key to friends?

Answer 8

change passwords to something only you know.dont use any numbers associated with your ssn birthday or anything that might be on file with your ISP.use something unique and totally different.have a list of potential passwords for use. change it every 3 months.

Answer 9

Change your password or just creat a new one with a different e-mail and password.

Answer 10

Use a combination of letters and numbers in your password, never make it simple.
