Apparently, it's really easy, I have been having problems with Hotmail and people hacking in for months. The best way is to make your password something with signs, numbers, and letters.

I am upset
I am truly a proffessional girl.I have had e-mails with different e-mails to respond to in" blue "so I do as they wish which mean respect there wishes, and they are hacking in.How boring can a person life be?Working along with their favourites being the hackers,and wasting my time.Now I have figured them out with the imput of other SP'S that share e-mails and phone #
Thank goodness for solid SP's that share with me.If any one wants to know who they are PM me personally pls?...I will save you a waste a time Call working together!!...Chantal XOX

An SP in the 'peg claims that the s.o. of another SP has some program that lets him into other people's hotmail accounts. He send messages from the other person's accounts to cause problems. Is there such software? maybe he should be called her sob instead of so!!!! bastard!!

I am serious
Sixpack really I do not really know what side of the fence you sit on? There are Pooners or Sp's or SOB that are wasting girls time?This is not the first time.

(Almost) anything is possible. If people can hack into government websites etc. they sure as hell won't have a problem getting into your Hotmail account. Try and pick a password which has CAPITAL letter, numerals and small letters all in the same word and is the maximum length allowable by the site. It won't stop them fully but should slow them down.
Weird question ...where do I sit? I just mentioned what one SP told me about some asshole being able to get into other people's email accounts.Chantal said:
Apparently he has sent emails to people that the SP definitely has not sent!!!
Where do I stand? Charge the bastard!!! Kick his ass!!!!
How is that for a stand?
Yep my post was deleted!
A six pack would be fine right about now!Sixpak said:Weird question ...where do I sit? I just mentioned what one SP told me about some asshole being able to get into other people's email accounts.

It isn't like anyone can do it but for hackers its not really that tough either.
The easiest way for them is by getting Spyware on your system that tracks keystrokes at each site. This one is pretty easy to prevent as long as you have Anti-Spyware like Spybot or any of the others out there running and scanning on a regular basis. Also running a quality Anti-Virus software like Symantec's Norton 10, VGA or McAfee will also help.
Other ways to prevent hackers from getting into your Webmail accounts is by changing your password regularly and use random nonsensical combinations and never use any kind of personal or traceable info like age, nickname etc...
I always try to use a secure password that includes at least 4 of the following rules:
At least one non-alpha numeric character (!>@#....)
A made up word (Craptacular, Watchamen etc...)
At least 10 characters
At least 1 number
Use a random generator to create the password - do a search on Google.com for a password generator and just use what it comes up with
Combination of CAPS and lower case letters
Intentionally misspelling words
A favourite example of this would be 1D10T-3rRor (ID 10 T Error or Idiot Error - this is a common term used in IT to describe a problem that was created by the user and not the technology) I don't suggest you use this one as most hackers know this term it is just a good example.
Simple rule of thumb is that the more complex your password the less likely someone will spend the time to figure it out. I mean really if someone wants to take the time to do so they can break 128 bit encryption so if they want to find out a password using a random generator they can. It might take a week for the software to run but it will eventually happen. Make it tougher on em by using complex password and changing them every week - especially if you are using it for business as it can really help keep you safer.
Remember though if there is key logging Spyware on the system then it doesn't matter how complex your password is as it is being given to the person tracking it every time you change it anyway. So the biggest thing is make sure that there is none on your system.

The trouble is that most of us log on regularly to at least 20 or more sites that require passwords. Using artificial, meaningless passwords may well make it more difficult for hackers, but it also makes it way more difficult for us to memorize them. In fact, it virtually forces us to keep a list of them on our hard drives that may be vulnerable to attack.
I have a system that uses unusual passwords that mean something to me, but are highly unlikely to mean anything to most other people, and they are unlikely to turn up in computer-generated word lists. It allows me to remember them without constantly referring to a list.

Your account may not have been hacked, it could've been that someone spoofed your e-mail address, which is much much easier to do:

etc. etc.
One doesn't need access to your account to spoof your address, so in that sense you're safe.

There are programs out that are not only keystroke loggers,but are immune to antivirus programs and will hide in the back ground for ever untill dissabled,,,The person wanting to gain access to you machine can do it remotely just by sending you an e-mail and poof,,they have it all,,,,,all your password,banking info,all the sites you visit etc.If this was to happen,changing passwords will not do anything as the hacker will get them all e-mailed to him/her as you do it.
Alot of P.I's use these programs to catch cheating spouses now.Tiss true,I've seen them work

I Know That Now!
It is people with a lot of time that can only do this.Very sad but true.I walked away from an MP for this reason.I never thought it would follow to this direction.Well thank goodness that a person can not intercept a cell or a landline.

or a landline.Couple of questions Chantel
-has anyone other than you been on your computer?
-have you opened any e-mail with attachments that said it contained a virus,but you didn't open it?
