    I dont think one can change the email id one uses to login to google adsense so easily. For that one has to email google and its not a simple process. So if the login has not changed, just click on Forgot password.

    contact them with your gmail account ...(saad29XX@gmail.com) and don't keep ur passwords on your server..unless you know how to encrypt them..even then it's not to bright.

    keep us posted dude, hope it all turns out in your favour... evn i am very skeptical about my passwords and my google account...

    The best way is to keep changng the password every month.

    Why should you lose your money? I mean unless you haven't done anything fishy then what are you concerned about?

    How do you lose money due to the hacker? Surely they aren't getting your cheques?

    You should be worried of your account if you do some co-operation with someone.

    Whatever it is, no use crying over spilt milk.
    Two things have to be done here:
    1) Don't ever keep your passwords online again.
    2) I was wondering how the hacker get to know where you kept your password files. By accident? Also, how did he have access to them? Is your file accessible to public? Or does the hacker have to gain access to your server?
    Learn from these mistakes and don't ever repeat them again.

    It looks like you're not saying the truth.
    Nobody can change your emailaddress from your login account without your secondary email to confirm when google changes the login email.

    If he had access to the server, he could easily hack the original email account and approve the change.
