so will you trust that other hackar will really gives you your e-mail account ?
may be he gets your account but he tells you that he failed to hack it ..

i guess it will be huge problem for any one specially that the email could contain some passwords as some sites send it with registration info..
and the mail could contain some personal and privacy info too...
it is a huge problem :?
but in this case i will change all my passwords in all the sites i know just incase and for more security..

thats what i can do now is to only change passwords although it can be known if there is a keylogger so its a very big problem.

yes, you should directly contact paypal via phone or emailing them from other accounts which you have added as secondary emails. They instantly will be helping you. After all, you know you are the owner and they know how to prove that..don't worry. About other emails, you must be having security questions asked..yahoo email security questions can not be changed, so you can easily recover your password..for google..just contact them and they will be helping you too..hacking is easy these days..but getting your accounts back is also fully supported now.

yes i know that paypal is good but they are all the same with the same securities or very near to each others , in case of hacking so all these accounts will be stolen ,thats what i am asking about ..
what to do if you got your mail hacked ?

**elliotthn05** · 25-02-08, 17:08

i have never had my email been hacked.but if it happens,i will get the email account as soon as possible and change the password immdiately.
i never save important password in my email.i dont know what will be worse.i feel secure.

**Devesh** · 25-02-08, 18:07

I feel that first of all you should inform paypal or e-gold or LR about the hacking of your email. Ask them to freeze your account at once.
Once they have acted according to your instructions, your money is safe. Then you can get a new password and start operating your account there.
They are smart enough to check who the real owner of a particular account is.
But on top of everything else, do not store any password in any email. Immediately, change the password once you get it through email.

Well moustafa if you contact the admin of paypal/e-gold/ LR then will ask for all details like what was your security questions/Answer, etc., etc., so If you answer it correctly then your account is back to you. I don't how they do this internally and I feel no one would be knowing this .
