[computer-tech-support: 8263] Re: Help Urgent - Gmail Account Hijacked

Never Ever put a password in the email,
and Google or any other mail company, will never ask you for your
password.
Never keep 2 or more accounts with the same password, always try to
keep changing them.
The other way to be hacked other than writing your own password by
your own will, is the key-logger, a spyware or malware installed on
the computer to keep track of what your keep writting, good idea is to
keep scanning your computer in a regular base...
For me, I dont believe your hacker is what you mentioned, while I
guess is a someone you know..that's why trying to keep aware of your
emails and what you do....
In reality, I dont believe that BIG institutes will leak or being
exposed in such away...and we will never be attacked from MARS.
