Great. Juuuuuust great. My e-mail was hacked.

When I attempted to sign onto e-mail this morning, Yahoo tells me that my account was "compromised." It took forever to change my password and log onto e-mail. At first glance nothing looks missing, but if any of you received weird e-mails from me in the last twenty-four hours, please let me know. My sent folder shows no e-mail sent but with

*hugs* I'm sorry, my hotmail account was hacked last year now I rely more on Gmail.

The most annoying thing they did to me was they copied all of my contact list and took it. I'm so glad you were able to get back in so quickly.

I'm not back in. I reset my password and they immediately reset it so we've been playing tug of war all day long. I don't know how to stop them from changing my password.

Oh well fuck. Can you contact yahoo and get their help?

I basically had to prove myself to Hotmail before I could get my account properly back.

Did you talk to a real person at Hotmail?

I emailed with a real person as I couldn't find a phone number. I did a lot of searching of where to go to say, someone's taken control. It was a huge headache as at first I didn't give them information they liked.

So then I wrote this long message on one of their support things saying, look, I've had this email since 1999 and I can't recall the exact details you want but have lots of proof. That seemed to have done it.

I wish I had more hopeful news about how this goes but this was a complete pain and it made me switch hotmail to my secondary account. Actually now its more like tertiary with my school email second.
