If you can prove that your account is hacked, contact the police.  They will put you in touch with the appropriate people...

you can find out who the IP is registered to with a reverse IP lookup, although that won't necessarily lead you to the exact computer.\nhttp://psacake.com/web/eg.asp\n\nyou can also get an estimate of where that IP is located geographically, but it's not very reliable and your best hitting several sites found on google to get the best estimate of where the IP is currently located at.\n\nThat's the best you'll do just off an IP, you probably won't be able to find out who owns the computer that is using that IP address, maybe just the service provider.

the best thing is to scan the file attachment... don't open it if you don't know who is it from... update your anti virus software and prevent going to any website that may leave back doors for hackers...

Hi there, \n\nYou can know it by installing 'keyloggers'\nThey will track down the passwords typed on your computer. You can download keyloggers for free from thefollowing sites - \nhttp://www.waresight.com/\nhttp://www.spectorsoft.com/\nhttp://www.kmint21.com/keylogger/\nhttp://www.keylogger.net/\nhttp://www.actualspy.com/\nhttp://www.keylogger.org/\n\nOK.. so much for the key-loggers. But at the same time, you have to be careful not to become a prey to people. There is a likely chance that people may aim key-logger at you. So get some anti-keyloggers at \nhttp://www.anti-keyloggers.com/\nhttp://www.spy-lantern.com/\n\nI don't think Mozilla Firefox is a good way of tracking passwords because the other users should 'enable' password storing in it. If not, there is nothing you can do. So, try keyloggers. All the best!! Hope this helps. Bye!!\n\nrule wid style n luv@vinny

Look at the full headers of the email.  Look for the X-Originating-IP.  Search that IP # on http://www.arin.net/whois/  It will show you info on their internet service provider and you should be able to narrow down where the person lives based on that info.

You can check if there is a mail forwarding activated. Dont know how to check for hacking

for that you'll have to check you network log. or your security log if you policied it. you can also check the access logs to see who accessed what files.\nremember if someone got into your system because you left it on or didn't have a good passowrd or security system. then it isn't hacking. it's only poor security practice. never give your passowrd to others & change it regularly. If in fact you had a remote user access your system emotely it should be in your system logs by default. review them. and trace the IP address and if you have good security software like mine, we also get the Mac address and automatically log the traceroutes of all remote users. I get more info then that but thats propriatary info... a trade secret. But for free i can only tell you to go through your logs, if it was a remote unauthorized account access to your system. Tell me you had a firewall atleast, or even had your network monitor activated if you are using the internet.

look for a profile if one exist.. or google the begining of the address & see if their name is else where.\nif the email was threatening (etc) you can report it back to the company it was sent from.\nview the full header ... view the sorce code (in FireFox right click you mouse & click View Page Source... in IE click View & then Source).\n\nit generally takes some work & with free email accounts - it is easy to hide behind them

I don't think the serial number will help you.  However, if you've got passwords on that computer for message boards and maybe some notable sites you log in to you might be able to track down the ISP of someone who's using them.  Ask those sites if your account has been logged into lately and if so, ask them for the IP number.  Then you'll have to contact the ISP that IP number belongs to, so do a 'who is' search on the IP number.  Contact the ISP and see if they can help you from there.

u can check their status (webcam /chatroom) at yahoo messenger by using "buddy spy" or "buddy check" search and download. if u mean to find out the password ,u hav got to scratch ur head  ...yacam.altervista.org   ..or u hav got 2 become a good hacker ...or "keylogger " on a computer and make the person use that id on that computer

no it is not possible to trace for simple user, but if e-mail company such as yahoo can give u ip address of computer, from where this happen and govt agencies help u to trace the ip address u can find out who is doing it. It can be done in future if you think you are very important person and say in govt. Then u can keep vigilanbce who will do it again.\nAs far as who have done this have your password, without password he can't erase or see the folders or files in your e-mail account. Some one knows your password.
