You should always be able to call your local police department. If it is something out of their comfort zone and/or authority, they'll be able to refer you elsewhere. Unless you've actually incurred monetary damages (loss of income, significant fees to get things back to normal, etc.), my instinct is that there will be little that can actually be done. If you have an attorney and if you know who this person really is (not just a screen name or some such), you could ask your attorney to write a letter to this individual. Again, legally speaking, there may not be much that can be done, but a letter from an attorney will likely scare the living crap out of this person. Something else you may want to do is see if there is an InfraGard chapter in your area. They will likely have resources and suggestions for you, as well. It may even be worth checking into reporting the incident to CERT/CC.

No, I think that they hacked into the website. But it is never a mistake to check for back-doors, etc. on your pc.

if you haven't put in any billing information you don't have to do anything.\nif you have, just email their support and tell them what happened\ni've been going to that site for a while, just browsing though, but it's a great site and they have very good support, so i wouldn't worry too much, just let them know.

There are only 2 ways this  can happen\n\n1. if your comp is already comprimised  and some keylogging software installed ( get some spyware Removal program to counter that)\n2. If the  website from where u are shopping is hacked  then the hacker gets the whole database of details t

Sorry, but you have a hacker to get rid of. He's logging your key strokes and probably by now has your e-mail codes.\nTry going to my computer/add/delete programs. Look through the list for one that is not started with a capitol letter.\nCan't garantee success or no damage, but he's in there and reporting on what you do. Probably sending messages from your e-mail to people you don't know, or do know, representing himself as YOU.\nI had one do that to me, and I had to replace the browser to get rid of him. You can get a new one by search/free browsers. Stay with the microsoft ones as others can mess you up too.\nTo replace a browser create a file to receive it in, find the one you want and download it to your file.\nOnce done downloading, go to the file and click install in the software. Be prepared to answer questions about what is to be used in each program. It will automatically replace your old browser, and should restore your e-mail.\nUnfortunately, since he has your codes, he can still access your mail. To stop that replace the currant code with a new one, and change it at least once a month. Don't forget to write down the change, and just draw a line through the old one so you can reuse it when you want to.........

If it's for yahoo mail, you can call Account Verification at 408-349-1572, option 2, option 2.  They will need to verify your account, so be prepared, and let them know someone hacked your account.  Then they can forward your account to Account Security for a resolution.  \n\nGood Luck.

That is certainly a danger.  Fraud is a serious problem and Internet crime is one of the fastest growing crimes out there.\n\nEven if you do recognize the name of the company, they could be "phishing" which simply means using a domain name that resembles that of the company but is different from the real one via:  a common misspelling, an extra/missing hypen in the domain name, etc.\n\nMoreover, crooks like to trick you by making your status bar show something else than the actual URL when you hover over the link, and then change it in the address bar upon your arrival.  Yes, they can do that, unfortunately.  Web browsers seem to have been created by people who think that people do not lie, cheat, or steal - or that such people do not use the web.\n\nThat being said, there are a few things you can do.\n\nLook at online consumer opinions sites.  One example is the epinions.com web site and there are probably others now too.\n\nYou can go to your library, and see if the company has a Dunn & Bradstreet (D&B) entry.  Go to reference section or microfilm/computer area of your local library to check this out. If you get stuck, ask a librarian or someone at the reference desk for help.\n\nIf you click on the order or the registration page, they should go into SSL mode.  At that point, any decent browser will let you check the credentials of the site.  Usually they call it the site certificate or something like that.  Look for that.  If they don't use SSL - hoo boy, do you really want to use their site even if they _are_ who they say they are?\n\nYou want to make sure the cert is good -  not expired, and that it is signed by someone you trust, like Verisign.  It's not an iron-clad garranty they are who they say they are, but it is something.  At least they have claimed it, and the claim has probably not been revoked - not if the cert is still valid and signed by a good/respectable CA.  I am presuming that if they scam a bunch of people and are using SSL, someone will gripe to Verisign or whomever.\n\nYou can minimize your risks, if you are unsure, by buying their merchandise from someone you already trust and do business with online.  For instance, Amazon.  They have been around for a decade and carry a huge variety of products.\n\nAlso, you can use payment intermediaries with some sites.  Like, I just now notice that Apple's iTMS web site says at this moment that if you buy an iTunes gift certificate with PayPal, you get up to 25 Free Songs.  PayPal is pretty popular.  Lots though not most web sites accept payment via Paypal. In some ways, maybe most ways, it is more secure than your credit card.  That is that the worst you can probably be out is the amount of the purchase.  They don't ever actually get to see your credit card when you use PayPal, I think.\n\nIt is a somewhat unstrustworthy world out there.  In some countries/cultures and neighborhoods, it is deemed perfectly acceptable to rip somebody off.  It is a big status symbol thing.  Obviously, law enforcement is lax/lacking in these areas.\n\nCredit card fraud is a huge problem, costing billions of dollars per year.  Be safe, protect yours.

oh, sorry. that went to the wrong person. jk lol. but seriously, if you have the e-mail address you can do a reverse email lookup. or you can report it to the police and have them get someone to track the IP back.

Somebody hacked you, and there might not be anything yet, but they obviously got in. I would disconnect my Internet cable and If you don't have a router you need to get one. That will stop it. You can buy at walmart for $40 dollars, or any computer supplier. If you want to know more about a router email me.

Change your password immediately, run a virus scan- and make sure your antivirus software is up to date. Do the same with your adware/spyware protection. And use a good firewall such as Zone Alarm.\n\nAnd make sure not to give ANYONE your password. It sounds to me like you've been hacked!\n\nOh yes, and if you get any strange e-mail, don't open it and especially don't respond to it: That tends to be a favored tool of Phishers, Scammers, and other assorted scums.
