My cousin has been a victim of a hacker who hacked his msn this what happens.
He was talking to some unknown person then he got signed out then he cant sign back in he decided to change his password but the secret question says hahaha i hacke ya bitch does anyone know how they did this it seems so easy.
(you dont have to give me the program that does this or fully tell me the exploit but i dont mind knowing it)(im not some kind of pervert or low life to hack into people email account i respect people privacy if i was a hacker i would hack into corporate network eg microsoft and get my hands on those source code )

A way to prevent hacking of any messengers is to not allowing for your IM to not sign on when you log on (to prevent auto sign on of your IM) . if you are away from your computer always lock it before you go to lunch. don't write your password or keep your password near your computer. know your co-workers or friends, they are usually the ones who would love to hi-jack your IM for fun.

Threats To Instant Messaging

To add to the technical stuff of Beeding Heart, If your using Windows XP, 2000 NT microsoft has built in access ports to help them "Troubleshoot" your computer.
Problem is that hackers can also access your computer discover your password etc. Once they have a viable computer, even firewalls will not stop the intrusion has they are masked as legit access privilages. If your running win 98 or older, because you have control over the ports it is not as easy to hack. Just close off all ports other than your primary. (This is how mine is set up.) You can thank Gates and Co for making your personal data public domain.

I think i better stop using instant messenger. I say being a 56ker does have an advantage hacker less likely to hack you because your too slow.
Damn microsoft making insecure operating system i think linux or macs should fix my problem.

Security Test

Try this and see your results. READ THE DISCLAIMER

A good well set-up firewall and anti-virus program works wonders (Dont bother with XP's built in firewall) (keep them upto date)

The obvious things to do are.

Enable anti-virus/firewall to start with windows/automatically options.
Close unused ports through firewall (usually auto)
Filter all ports through firewall (usually auto)
Enable malicious script detection (usually auto)
Enable e-mail scanning (usually auto)
Enable messenger scanning
Close all unnessasary services Services Descriptions
Enable automatic updating in anti-virus/firewall
Use a good "spyware" removal program (keep that upto date)
Be careful with any file sent to you (e-mail, messenger etc)
Check running processes for anything unusual (make a note of it and do a search, end/remove it if needed)
BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP
Never give anyone your password, even if they are trustworthy it doesnt mean they know enough not to give it away

Then there are plenty of security tweaks available (e.g floppy disk system key)

There is no such thing as 100% security, just less likely.

Statistics say one operating system is less likely than another (thats no good if you the one getting mangled).

It's all about finding a balance (eg. if your a die-hard gamer switching to 3.1 or another system that isnt as compatible with your games isn't much of an option.)

"Security through obscurity" is nonesense.

I know this is stating the obvious but it might help someone

MY MSN IS HACKED! WHO DID IT TELL ME! TELL ME! GIVE ME MY PASSWORD! ARRRGGGG HELP ME GUYS! HELP!!!!!!!


for real! MY MSN ACCOUNT HAS BEEN HACKED! SOMEONE HELP!

Are you completely locked out?

yes... my password dosent work!, i went to the help topic and tried to reset my password, but it says, who Hackzorid you? for my question thingy..

First off if you use the same password for other accounts change them now just incase.

Have any of your mates or relatives been near the comp? If so try their name or nickname in the password reminder.

If someone has truely stolen the account sign up for a new one and tell your buddies your not the one calling them a gang of ******.

If it has been hacked for real its gone the effort needed to get it back from MS (if they will) probably wont be worth the effort or the money.

i hate this........ now how the hell can i chat to my friends..... ARGG!

You can try and get MS to do something about it but I wouldnt hold your breath.

You could try and get someone to get it back for you but I really wouldnt try they could do more damage and they always ask for more info than they actually need.

Sorry I cant be of more help

I think the criminal justice system do not take hacking seriously enough. They ought to be hung in the marketplace!

I just did the Security Test

Our Security Scan found NO open ports.

WOO HOO

i talk to doomie and nxt2hvn on it!
wehey

k my friend recently got hacked and no longer can sing into thier msn or homtaill acount so would somone be able to help me and tell me how i cna hack into it?

justin,

Hopefully the info in this thread will help your friend sort out his problems.

First of all, it's cracking, not hacking. The two are totally different things, only the media has pinned everything bad that happens on hacking, which just isn't true.
Just thought I'd say this, because I'll be using the term "cracking" and not "hacking" in the following post.

Now then - MSN.
Once an MSN account has been cracked effectively, the only two ways to get it back are to either contact MicroShaft, or make an attempt at cracking it again.
I would advise against both, as cracking is the mark of a fool, and MS are as helpful as...something really unhelpful...(my imagination isn't up to scratch today).

I'd just uninstall MSN, reinstall the latest version, then install a decent firewall.
Then pray that you can remember at least some of your contacts, who will have the addresses of others.

Its usually keyloggers that hack msn accounts i had mine hacked but luckily they didn't change the password.

i need to hack this person account because i accident;y gave my friend her add instead of mine and she wont tell me his address so agitating

Well, start out with your friends who are bad with computers, and start weeding them out from there. Then hit them about the head and neck with a crowbar.

i dont really know how you can find out he logged into your email account cause im not with AOL so i dont know how AOL works but i think AOL should do something about it most internet company says if someone hacks into your account and stuff they'll look into it. Theres a few way that can find out who logged into your account and that is if AOL keeps logged ip address but i dont think you can do much cause you dont control aol just change your password and forget about it. like always NEVER GIVE YOUR PASSWORD UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE even if it is your most trusted person. I dunno how that person got the password in the first place just dont give any password away even if it is your most trusted person that most trusted person might give it to someone else you never know.
