Serious question on hotmail privacy.Computer masters please inform me

I am not using their pay service
But I told them already,I am waiting for some response

Someon told me that he probably used something like MD5 hashing.Whats that and how do I use it?

THX made a good point there.

Did you use the same password for your hotmail and your forum register?  That explains a lot.  That means, the mods (hmmm...LIC comes to mind, hehe) knew your password and your account number and they also know your hotmail email address.

So, by using the same password on the forum and your email address....

I know it seem a little far fetch...but who knows...

We mods do not have access to passwords. Only Admins.
Sheesh, quit being paranoid.

I\'ve been paranerd ever since mm hinted he can read all of our PMs

:eek:

[§ôµÏG®ïñD]

admins don\'t have access to pw either.. they can only change them.. not see them.    Unless mm has updated something in the admin panel.

He is actually the owner of the forum!Which makes him what?An Admin?
And computers are his speciality!
Its funny that he sais he cant know or find our passwords to give it to others and an idiot who\'s spceciality isnt computers finds them.
Oh and I got banned.If it was by the bastard and not the admin whatever that means he hacked the forum.But he gives not sh!T?
They hack your forum and do whatever they want and you dont care????

Go change your hotmail password.  That might help.

Also, don\'t use the same password for everything you do online.

To be fair.. if they\'re inside your country, and they\'re blackmailing you with personal information.. that\'s something you should get the police involved with.  Even if there is no specific internet law that they\'ve violated with the privacy invasion, once they took it beyond that to blackmail... well... that\'s a crime everywhere.  The only problem is if your "personal" emails actually contain something illegal, and not just personal/embarassing.

For the future, don\'t use the same password in any two places.  Don\'t use free email accounts for personal stuff.

Now what I need is the ability to be able to get into his new hotmail account he made with my personal information and delet them

Very odd that he got your account info, you didn\'t happen to get an email from hotmail asking you to enter your info?  Has he sent you any music/video/aplications that may have had a trojan?

[Paul2]

Another good point except the trojan .

Anyway, did you ever give your password, email account to anybody?  friends, family, relatives?  Or anybody sending you an email that ask you to give them your passwords and stuff?

Because the biggest thing to remember is:

Never, ever give your password, email account to anybody that request it.

what they do alot is copy the html source of the hotmail page, put it on their own server and send you an email directing you to that page.  When you fill in the form, they get your info.

In which case, if that is what happened, you had it comin\' for being an idiot.

ADmins can\'t see passwords.


I have a question though.  WHy don\'t you change your hotmail password?  OR did he change it on you and now you have no access.  That would be pretty sweet.  oops.  Sorry.

Ok.Here what it happened.That  hotmail account 4 years ago was just an extra account I had for unimportant reasons and I rarely used it so the answer to the question if I wanted to change my password wasnt very difficult to guess.Well...who would have tried to get in my hotmail account if it had nothing in it.I was using a different email for serious reasons.Then my internet account ended with Spidernet so I couldnt use a spidernet email account.So I was temporarily sharing an internet password with a friend from Cytanet (Cyprus tekecommunications network).Till then that email account I was using was that from hotmail for a few years. Then my parents subscribed with Cytanet and I didnt know how to add my cytanet emal account to my outlook express.So I kept using the hotmail account for general use(forgetting about the simple question for the password change).
Once I registered in neoseeked forums(a forum I last posted was probably a year ago so aI fo4rgot alla bout it).My email was shown in my profile but I didnt notice.
So the bastard searched for my username in google found my profile in that forum and answered the question after a few tries of guessing.
Damn it.
Ofcourse he only changed the password not the question so I managed to answer it, change the password and the question but it was already too late
