Something weird happened to my acc

Postby Rarity » March 10th, 2011, 7:15 am

Ok I haven't been around for a few days and something weird happened. It seems someone was trying to access my acc. When I logged on today it said that my password was wrong and also that I have attempted multiple times to access but failed. What is weirder was that my password to gmail wasn't working either. I had to get a new pass from yahoo then to gmail then here.
Anyone else has this problem??

Nope. Maybe you should change your password, to a better one if someone is acessing your accounts. I never had to deal whit thease things.

I don't know whether or not your passwords are easy to guess or all the same (two things you want to avoid so that people can't access your accounts), so I'll give the best advice I can. I'd run a virus or spyware scan to see if you have a keylogger. A keylogger is a spyware program that records every one of your keystrokes and can be used to collect passwords in order to gain access to your e-mail, MLK, and various other accounts. If you have one, remove it and change all your passwords.

A free malware (a combo of spyware and partial virus scanner) can be downloaded from MalwareBytes.org. Download the free copy, update the software when you run it, and then have it scan your entire computer.

Hope this helps. ^^

This actually happened to me just now. I entered my username and password like three times. It kept saying it was wrong. I logged off for a minute, logged back on, entered it, and it said it was right.
