Hotmail contact list has been hijacked on 09/03/2010
My hotmail contact list has been hijacked on 09/03/2010 and is sending spams (viagra ads) to everyone in my contacts several times. I can't stop it. I run Microsoft Essentials, Norton 360 Suite and Malware, changed my password, but it is still happeneing. Help! What can I do to stop this?
Hello
Proceed to a very thorough check for malware and then change your password by e-mail.
It is possible for a person to send the email that 'seems' to be of your
account but that is not really - called "Spoofing." That means its 'Possible' emails
were not really you, although they may have your contact list. Have someone
who receives the e-mails to check the header to see where he is actually sent by and
NOT only the answer to the address.How to read the message headers

If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
cause.No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one

Cannot disable vacation notices in hotmail after that contact list has been hijacked
Yesterday my contacts all received a message from me that I didn't send. It was a tender for the purchase of electronics from a company in China Beijing and signed (removed email). I now have a message bar that tells me that my notice of vacation is on. When I go through Options to turn off, I find the fake email that seems to be sent to everyone who contacts me. When I click the off button for the notice, nothing happens. What can I do?

my contact list has been hacked and disappeared completely, what do I do?
Today (17/08/16) while doing a search for card on my iPod, I received a message that my device could not connect with the server. I checked the wifi settings and everything seemed normal.
A few hours later I started to receive messages undelivered Damon of the people on my contact list, but I had not sent all recent messages. He became a snowstorm of mail returned with comments indicating that a file 'drop zone .pdf' could not be opened.
When I went to my contact list to meet some of the shippers, I found that my list of contacts it had been cleaned up with only my name remaining. This list was perhaps 200 + names and information. I've never had a security problem with apple products and I am a user since the 1980s.
I share an Internet connection with my other significant and it has a windows 10 laptop PC. I did a complete antivirus on his device scan and found three variations of a Trojan which were immediately eliminated. I'm assuming that one of the virus/Trojan horse the culprit but it is possible t it completely deleted (not copied) my entire contact list and if so, is there a way to restore the original information?

Two-thirds of my contact list has disappeared... What do I do?
Instead of my usual 148 contacts, there are only 40 listed now, although I have nothing to cause this. To try to fix it, I turned my phone off, took out the battery and then re-installed, but to no avail. Has someone else happen? What can I do to recover my contacts?
TIA
The first thing I would try would be to open your application contact. Now press the menu options/display. Now tap on your gmail account and a list of system groups should appear. Scroll down and check the box "other contacts". Now click on your previous key to view your contacts. They are all listed now?

BlackBerry smartphone Contact List BB messenger gone?
Hi all.
This morning I received a message to update my BB Messenger.
After the update and installation, there were a few mistakes (not forget to take screenshots), but since then, my contact list has disappeared.
Lateron when I logged in again, he asked me to look for my ' old "contacts. I waited a few minutes and nothing happened so I decided to restart my BB. After that, my contact list was empty and now I don't have my friends braces saved somewhere.
Someone has an idea how to do to retrieve the list of old?
Jhonny
No backup copy? Not at all?
You can make a very very easy to in BlackBerry Messenger > Options > Backup. You have not done this?
Or the Desktop Manager?
If you do not - simply start adding your friends again.
Look at the Options > Applications > BlackBerry Messenger, what version of BBM do you have?

Contact list hack? People from my contact list received an email from 'me' to the 'click here to get rich type. Email is not of me, but a number of email addresses @terra.com.br. Only small groups of contacts both seem to be addressed.
My email provider is @tpg.com.au and I use Thunderbird on my mac and the application of Apple Contacts for addresses.
My contact list has been hacked, and what should I do?
Your contact list could have been hacked is via iCloud (if use you it). Change your iCloud password, just in case. Do the same with your tpg account.
Another possibility is that at some point you sent mail to many people on your contacts list. In this case, the leak could be any of them.

My email account has been hacked. What can I do to stop the unathorized email going to my contact list?
original title: hacked e-mail accountIf the hacker has your address list now I'm afraid there is absolutely nothing you can do.
If it is using your real address list (as opposed to having downloaded/imported) then change your password should do, but unless this intruder is a fool, he or she has already copied your list of contacts.
Please mark this as useful or response if applicable.
