Hotmail/outlook.com will tell you that if you fail to login or are logging in using a different computer and/or browser. Just look at the security log and see if it is your IP address. That said, if it isn't you, make sure you have a good password and have changed it recently. Its also good if it doesn't match other websites you frequent.

Someone has hacked my gmail. Help?

This sounds like a scam to me - If I was you, i'd log into my gmail account and change my password. Beware of people trying to get you to tell them your password either by phone, SMS or email because 'apparently' your account has been hacked.

Help yahoo com

NO, you have not been hacked,, UNLESS you did open and follow what ANY of these emails told you to do!!!
DID you ask to do any of the things the emails stated you did? If you haven't responded, or clicked a link, or anything with any of the emails..JUST DELETE THEM.. they are phishing for your account.. they are hackers... I get them too..just delete ALL this type emails.. use common sense...

My acct has been hacked and my password changed mike [email protected] also my email [email protected] has been hacked password changed and security questions changed

Here is a link for FB that will helpicon1.png you recover your hacked account..
https://www.facebook.com/help/www/203305893040179

Once you recover the account. Setup Login Approvals. That will send a special code to your cell phone every time someone tries to access your account from an unrecognized device. Without that special code, they can't access your account.

I don't use MSN anymore and i highly recommend using http://gmail.com and setting up the 2-step verification system.

I am look to unlock my gmail password but keeps on declining

Gmail, Google's email service, provides you with a free, online email address.
Your Gmail account is vulnerable to hackers if you don't take adequate steps to protect it.

Create a strong password that contains a mix of numbers and letters.
Use both upper and lowercase, and consider adding symbols.

Change your account's settings from HTTP to HTTPS.
Even if you take the necessary precautions, someone may still hack your account.

By checking various Gmail settings, you can determine if someone has hacked your account.
Sign in to your Gmail account.

If your password doesn't work, someone has compromised your account.
If your login works, scroll to the bottom of the Gmail screen until you find the Last Account Activity line.

Click "Details."
This opens a new window with all your recent account activity.

Check the Location box for any activity outside your area or from a strange IP address.
This is a sign that someone hacked your Gmail.

Click "Sent Mail" and look for any strange messages sent from your address.
If you find messages there that you didn't send, someone may have hacked your account.

Click the gear-shaped button on the top right side of the Gmail screen.
Choose "Mail Settings" from the drop-down list.

Check the Signature box to make sure no one changed it.
Hackers sometimes place links to malicious websites in this area.

If you send an email to someone and he unknowingly clicks one of these links, it can infect his computer.

Check the Vacation Responder section for a similar reason. Make sure no one has changed it or placed outgoing links.

Click the "Accounts and Import" tab at the top of the Settings page.
Click "Change Password Recovery Options" in the Change Account Settings section.

Enter your password if Gmail prompts you.
Check the Email section to make sure there are no strange addresses listed as a recovery email address.

If a hacker places one of his email addresses in this section, he can recover your password even after you've changed it.

While on this page, check your security questions to make sure no one changed them.
Close the "Recovering Your Password" page and return to your Gmail Settings page.

Check the "Grant Access to Your Account" section.
Unless you've added an account here, it should be empty.

If someone hacked your Gmail, you may find that he has added himself to your account in this section.
This means he can read your email and send messages from your address.

Click the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab.
Check the Forwarding section to make sure no one changed it.

Check the POP Download section and the IMAP Access section.
Unless you enabled them in the past, POP and IMAP should be disabled.

Hackers use these options to gain access to your messages.
Click "Save Changes" if you altered any settings.

How can someone send email from my account without me knowing it?

I fear your account may have been hacked by someone you don't even know. Please try to change the password of your account as early as possible for your own safety and watch what happens.

Hope this helps, Mrityunjay.

My hotmail account has apparently been hacked, so microsoft blocked it.i tried to unblock it by verifying some of the account info but i didn't remember all of the info so nothing happened.

This sounds fishy from the start. How would Microsoft know if someone hacked your email account? As far as I know, MS don't go around detecting hacked accounts and closing them down.
Secondly, what info were you verifying, where and to whom?
Sounds like you might have accidentally given all your personal details to a phishing scam email pretending to be from MS.
If you still have time, go to the hotmail website and click I cannot get access to my account and try to use the zecondary email address to retrieve your password. Failing that, you can maybe answer the secret question you setup.
