Question

i need help my boyfriend hacked into my account does anyone know how he could have done it and i know i changed my password but if he did it once most likely he can do it again

he couldnt know my security question its totally fake i just made it up so no one would know or guess it any other idea?

Answer 1

I'ts easy to hack in myspace profiles since myspace.com does not have very good security, do you know how many account myspace has to handle every day? Spammers who make thousands of accounts and advertise like crazy? Still myspace cant handle these people yet alone handle 3 million myspace accounts. Anyways your bf probably put a keylogger on your computer, and linked it to his email account so he found out your password, a keylogger basicly watches what you do on the computer and views what websites and programs you run on your computer. There are thousands of them that are on the internet and it is extremely easy to get one and download it or send it to someone using email or if they know your Ip adress. A simple keyloger is SS PRO you can try it for 7 days for free just go to download.com and type system survilence pro, go to his house and download it on his computer and link it to your email and hack all his passwords, its not that hard even a 12 year old can do it. Or make him come over to your house and turn on the program, and you can steal his accounts lol. Anyways good luck, and if you use his computer u should change the password on another computer, and also make a difficult password to crack mixed numbers and letters are the hardest to crack , but if you have a keylogger on your computer u should install some anti virus and scan your computer to see if there is anything on there, that might steal your passwords. Good luck and sorry for the mispelling Im at school and got study hall! =D

Answer 2

As you said, it's possible that he just guessed your password. Good going on changing it. He could have also gotten onto your computer and viewed your saved passwords. IE and Firefox both have the capability to store passwords and with the right knowledge you can access them. I recommend telling your browser to not save your passwords anymore.

Finally, it's possible that he installed a keylogger on your computer. Here's a great free program that can detect many software keyloggers:

If this is a desktop PC and not a laptop, he could have also installed a hardware keylogger. To check for one, follow your keyboard's cord to the connection point on the computer. If there is an additional, unnecessary connector between the plug and the back of your computer, that's probably a keylogger. If you find one, put it on a necklace and wear it the next time you two are going out. The expression on his face will probably be priceless.

By the way, dump the jacka$$. Nobody who actually respects another person would do something like that.

Answer 3

First and for most, change your pass word to the most characters allowed for a password (example 22 characters
myboyfriendisadumbshit). Never have your computer store passwords for you (any passwords), also change your email account password because with some programs you can "backdoor" right into account. Do not use birth dates, pets names, family members or social security numbers for a password. They are too easily hacked. And dump the boyfriend, he has some issues with privacy to will only get worse.

Answer 4

The only way a person could get into your account is if they know the password. He either guessed it, or he know the answer to your security question so that he can have it sent to him when you change it.

Change your question to something he can not answer. Then change your password again to something he should not be able to guess. Like the first letter of each word in a favorite song or poem (Example "Happy Birthday to You" would be "HBTY").

Answer 5

The only thing I can think of is he knew the password. Just keep changing it every few days. Also if your boyfriend did that I would say get rid of the SOB! It starts with Myspace then next it is your bank account.

Answer 6

either he knows your password or he knows your email password, you can have your password sent to your email if you forget it and if he knows your email password he can easily get your myspace password. you should try changing both your myspace and your email passwords which will make his hacking virtually impossibly. unless he's just a really good guesser. lol.

Answer 7

u can put a alternate e mail and secret answer when he hacke u u can get ur password again

Answer 8

You may want to run an antivirus scan to ensure that a keystroke logger hasn't been installed as well.

Answer 9

becuz he probably knew the answer to your security question.

Answer 10

Sounds like a real jerk. You should dump him.
