So I woke up this morning and turned on my MSN messenger to check the ol' e-mail when I discover that someone had changed my named to �ٺ� (pabo) . It definitely wasn't that when I turned it off last night. Nobody knows my password...how could someone do that? I've changed my password now anyways...strange methinks.

Because you used a PC Bang or computer somewhere where somebody used a keystroke recording program.

Here is how the do it.... (It pisses me off because - sometimes when i log on - they are also logged on....

How to hack Hotmail or Yahoo Passwords

This is the best way to hack anyone's Hotmail or Yahoo passwords. You can use your Hotmail address to get a Yahoo address and vice versa also. Here is how to do it.

First, open a new email message. Type in the "To:" box this email address: [email protected]. In the subject line, type "LOST PASSWORD". In the body, type on the 1st line your email address (ex: [email protected] or [email protected]). On the 3rd line, type your password. And on the 5th line, type the person you are trying to get the password from's email address (ex: [email protected] or [email protected]).
Here is an example of what the email should look like:

TO: [email protected]
SUBJECT: LOST PASSWORD

You@hotmail/yahoo.com

12345678

Them@hotmail/yahoo.com


This works by confusing the server. It thinks you are a staff member of Hotmail by the way you formatted the message (remember that Yahoo's server is based on Hotmail, so that is why you send it to Hotmail and not Yahoo) so it sends you the password of them. This is the best way to confuse the server. There are other ways, but they don't work.

Wow, talk about a security vulnerability.
Why haven't they fixed it?
Just one more reason not to use hotmail or yahoo as a primary account (as if anyone needed more).

I was curious how that happened...question that I think is related....

Any of you all get email responses from mail you've never sent, returned mail that you've never sent,....usually for purposes of SPAM?

Sure- somone spoofing your email address: masking their own email adress to make it look as though it had been sent from your account. It's happened smong Dave's users- somebody started a thread a while back that was titled "Why is Bulsajo Spamming Me?" Knew it was spoofing because I don't email with an account or a name involving Bulsajo, nor do I email anyone related to this site- I use the PM function. I wonder what it was that "I" sent- I forgot to ask at the time.

Why would anyone want to send their password to:
you are sending an e-mail to the whoever it is: [email protected].
This person now knows your password!
Who is "[email protected]" anyway?

Do NOT try to hack someone's password using this system. All that will happen is that you give YOUR password to the sly bugger who owns [email protected]. I've seen exactly the same scam but with other more convincing email identities such as [email protected] etc..... it's all just a scam.
