are you sure your account IS hacked?

try clearing your cache and cookies...and try loggin in again

sometime that is the problem

google "gmail support" and you might find telephone # or support email...try that.

I can't log in any of the sites i used with this mail, so i think it's hacked

But thx anyway for the help !

I should point out that a security expert of my acquaintance was hired by Google to see how easy it was to hack a gmail account. His conclusion was that a gmail account was extremely resilient to hacking, and would require someone of great skill.

His conclusion was that the only way to gain a gmail account would be a dictionary attack on an account with a weak password, or a keylogger intercept, or getting someone to tell you their gmail password.

It does make me laugh when I hear that people say they've had their gmail account hacked, as if a cyber terrorist has broken into their account (yeah! right!)...

Did you use a weak password? Something that can be found in the dictionary? Have you traded accounts here in FST?

recover the password and type in the answer to your secret question

@Thefox : I was thinking the same. Why the heck would someone bother to hack a gmail account unless you're an admin of a private tracker or something in those terms..

i don't know what happened to the account of the topic starter.

what i do know is that many people trade accounts with email.

most "hacked" email accounts - similar to "stolen" tracker accounts are results of a trade scam.

nothing was ever hacked or stolen. the details were sent via pm.
