My ex-husband has hacked into my yahoo and myspace accounts, what can I do about this?

Question

What options do I have to protect myself from this again and who or what do I contact to report this and have it investigated?

He is my ex and has done this "remotely", meaning he is never in my house or around my computer. I have tried the new account, the new password and changing all of my stuff. It hasn't worked he is still getting into my account.

Answer 1

i would close the account out and tell your hubby that and then reopen another one..and dont get on when hes around so he doesnt know..but i'd hate being in a relationship with a hubby like that..obviously there is more going on or at least he thinks so

Answer 2

I'm surprised that no one mentioned this, but there is the possibility of a keylogger.

you said he's never in your house and is never around, but still accesses your account, despite getting a new one.

I'd advise you to download AVG antivirus (home edition) and run a virus scan.

-Keylogger: Records every keystroke you make and relays it back to their computer.

After you've finished with the scan, THEN change your password.

Answer 3

There is nothing complicated about someone hacking your computer. They know your password(s). It is that simple.

Change your passwords and make sure they are Strong Passwords. Here is information about make Strong passwords.

Change the passwords to everything that requires one to a strong password.

Answer 4

Federal is one thing but state is another. Search "computer crimes & computer forensics" It may depend what state you live in. Make sure to be aware that if you wipe out your computer, you might be wiping out any evidence that he's done this too. Just a thought. He's probably reading this too, right? You'll need evidence if you want to hold him accountable.
