Hi Warriors,

I had a weird experience today when my email stopped working.

I logged back in to my host and reset the email account and when I logged back in, it had a strange welcome message:

"Welcome, Patrick Chan"

Since that's not my name it seemed strange - especially since there's an IMer with that name.

Anyone else had a weird situation like this?

    No, I can thankfully say that particular thing hasn't - but it does seem as if your account was hacked.

    I had my hotmail account hacked a few years ago, which ultimately left all my other online accounts open for attack (ebay, paypal etc.) I ended up being locked out of my own accounts (the hacker went in to my ebay account and changed the password).

    It took me ages to prove to hotmail and ebay that I was the rightful owner of the accounts.. but it was a nightmare you want to prevent (change your hotmail password)

    Thankfully, I got back in before my paypal account was hacked.

    All the best with it,

    Daniel
