    I don't know how it happened.:confused: But he is from DP only and his name is Sahil.:mad:

    He hacked my gmail password and was talking to my friends. But now I have changed my password.

    I am not able to understand how he got my password as I use my account only on my PC and also I don't use any kind of javascripts.:rolleyes:

    What should I do to save my password in future?? Also I have changed the pass of PayPal and Yahoo.:)

    How do you come to know that person who hacked your gmail pasword is Sahil ? Do you know him personally :confused:

    Try to change your password frequently and never share it with anyone else anywhere.

    DON.

    Strange. Never knew there's anybody who wants to hack into email account. Consider yourself lucky since you managed to get it back. Have you check your pc for keylogger as well?

    It's impossible to hack Gmail account ( 3-5 wrong passwords and you are being asked to enter captcha ). Just curious - have you ever exposed your Gmail password ( in the meaning of using it on other forums/websites ) ?

    Install kaspersky or Run a Systemcheck online. I am quite Sure Your system is injected with keylogger.

    ohhh! thats too terrible you can ask from Google Support if you have any alternative email id... from Gmail

    If you have entered alternative email then you can recover your password

    More than likely you unknowingly and unwillingly downloaded a trojan, keylogger, virus etc... Another way that I know of people getting hacked is from using "free hosts". The admin can simply browse your space for config files (like that of a forum or blog config file) and see your username & pass. Remember that anytime you download a "compressed" file such as a .rar or .zip file you run the higher chance of the virus not getting found from a scan regardless of if the anti virus thinks it's clean or not.

    You must be opening your email out in the open and somebody must have seen it.
