Install these addons for your web browser: MaskMe and DoNotTrackMe by abine. MaskMe creates maked email accounts and passwords so that you don't have to give websites your real data, the add-ons manages everything for you and if you start getting spam or hacked then you can simply delete the masked email account.

I've been using it for a few weeks now and I wouldn't want to browse without it.

Why do you think you've been hacked? Because you got a fishy email? It's just spam trying to entice you to click on the link, which you shouldn't post on here as a direct link for obvious reasons. Just delete the emails and don't worry about it.

No, his email account has been sending spam to TGC.

Do a full AV scan as well in case you've got a keylogger on your system.
Try a few different one's as well

It's easy to send e-mails with a fake "from" address.
Maybe someone is just messing with you (meaning that your actual e-mail account haven's been compromised at all)?
Are there any traces in your out-/sentbox of those messages?

If the email from address were spoofed it'd look something like this:

[email protected] via mail7.atl31.mcdlv.net

From my own inbox.

in your 'sent' box, did it include the email that was sent?
if not, it may have been removed, or they could have spoofed an email from your address.
This is actaully very easy to do, all you need is a webserver.
Here's an example:
for my app Neon Bunniez, I let the users upload levels they create, it uploads them to a server which then emails them to me.

Here's the email I get:


Which appears to come from [email protected], which isn't true. So if they sent a spoofed email too TGC, appearing to come from your email address, when they reply to it, it'll go to you. No hacking required.

It is very much illegal to fake email addresses (for the purpose of impersonation, mine is not illegal). If TGC still has 'your' email to them, they can check the actual IP/server it came from by viewing the extended headers, they can then contact the authorities, who can contact the server it came from, who can detect the IP of the user who used their servers, which can be tracked by the police and he can be arrested and imprisoned (impersonation is a serious offense).

Then again, maybe they didn't do it this way.
