A colleague on my gmail contact list in Germany believes that adjustments were made to his email account by my hacker. Thought you might be interested in these excerpts from his emails
I recommend, that you check carefully your mail account and advise----------------------------------
your friends to do so as well. I am using Thunderbird as my mail client system and when I started to
write this mail, I found that I had all a sudden a new mail account in the system called
<user@domain.invalid>news
I deleted immediately this user account, because I think it could be used for this
kind of attack.
For your information I copy you below the content of the mails I
received or wrote in this matter. The e-mail address for replies was jack.conaway@ymail.com
thank you for your reply.
1. I called the phone number, but it was only ringing and no reply. I heard about critical numbers.
So before I called, I checked the country code and area code which in bothe cases were correct
for Spain and Madrid.
2. I discovered the new user account, installed by your hacker, by the fact, that I use Thunderbird as
my mail system, in which I have installed 2 accounts for me provided by 2 different service providers:
- compuserve
- and t-online
When I write an e-mail, I can select the sender e-mail address with Thunderbird. So usually I use
t-online.de for specific things and compuserve as my primary mail account.
Writing mail to you in reply to your "help me mail" I discovered suddenly 3 sender mail-addresses in thelist instead of 2.
So I went through "extras" => "account information" => "account actions" => "delete"
and deleted this undesired entry in the list.
In reality I think that this hacker attack is part of the attacks on Google out of China!!! And we were lucky having only been attacked by the first year students of the Chinese govermental hacker institution.

I am not going to talk bad about AVG but it is still free and you do
get what you pay for unfortunately. I would just choose an Anti-virus
and Spyware protection and do weekly checks and watch where you go on
the net, or anyone else goes on the net on that computer for that
matter. Glad you got the email back, and hopefully you didn't miss
anything important.
