    I found the person who hacked my hotmail account this morning. My password 10 digits all random characters. I'm guessing they recovered my account by the forgot password feature. But, I am unable to get it back, I called Microsoft and they just kept transferring me back to this department then to that one. Then I kept talking to foreigners I have no clue what they were saying.

    The Website is: Fagex[dot]net

    I dont really no where to go from here. But all my clients who have been using that email I kindly ask you to disregard any emails, or IM's you receive from my e-Mail.

    You shouldn't have had such an each password recovery question, or you shouldn't have told him the answer to it if he asked you.

    If he didn't change the password recovery question, use it to change your password.

    Hmmm. Did you back-up your contact list, from MSN Messenger?
    If you did, you could atleast get your contacts back and then add them to a new e-mail address, then alert them about the hack-in.

    This can be done by going to; MSN Messenger --> Contacts --> Save instand messaging contacts.
    Import saved contacts to MSN; --> MSN Messenger --> Contacts --> Import instant messaging contacts.

    Hope this helped.

    Yeah I backed it up. Now he's threatening to hack my Bank and stuff. And he says he'll hack every email until he finds the one with my bank number and stuff on it.

    Just make sure that you don't have any other secret questions that he would know the answer to. Also make sure no important website accounts have the old email address associated with them so he can't use the 'forgot your password' feature.

    Allow me to ask how come a random person from the internet will has the answer to your recovery questions? It sounds kind of weird because he doesn't know anything about you.

    Please link us to the thread. There must be a reason he hacked your account.

    Relax about them stealing from your bank. The forum is a game cheating forum for goodness sakes :p Hacking email accounts is one thing, fraud is another.

    Good luck!

    I dont use it for business but if people want to talk to me for freelance work thats the way of talking to me. Also i dont know how he got it. maybe he cracked it It was like 10 random characters. I did some research and i found that there is an exploit out for hotmail and he may of just cracked my hash. I'm not to sure.

    Was it the same password you used for fagex forums? Or for other RS Cheating tools?

    I think you're wrong about that. If it's an MD5 hash of a 10 character, non-word string it is nonviable to crack.
