Wait, so my RapidShare.com account has been stolen for the second time.

    I've had this RapidShare.com account for a while now, and apparently, it just got stolen for the second time.

    The password is not written down nor stored anywhere, and I emailed RapidShare, and they said someone had access, had changed the login id, password, and email address, and will NOT send the new login details to me as I am not the owner of the account anymore.

    How is it possible someone's stealing it from me? These people download gigs of software from the account (as far as I know when I took it back last time)

    I have ZoneAlarm firewall blocking all incoming packets and checking all outgoing, as well as antivirus and anti-spyware software.

    All I remember is it was stored in a cookie for a while, and that's it.

    I'm pretty upset now, and any ideas on how I can get it back or how it got stolen would be nice. :mad:

    Thanks

    You want me to tell you my password? :S

    I tried the forgot your password but it says No Account Found. I'm afraid of purchasing another account because it might get stolen again.

    Whatever it was it was too simple, most likely.

    Alright I got in touch with them and got the account back.

    Still, I'd like to know how the person managed to take the account? Either way, the password was like this:

    3(3h&3$:<

    Thanks again

    Well, no way that was simple.

    Someone within the house, maybe? Your sibling?

    So in 7 minutes all of a sudden they decided to give it back to you?
