Somebody told me that my emails were not answered because his email add had been hacked and he cannot access it.I have a hard time believing it,I think its a lie.I don't have enough knowledge about computers or about hacking a person's email .What do you think about this.
The attacker could have changed the password..
I've moved this from Microsoft Security to Miscellaneous Security.
It is possible that if his password has been changed he may be locked out of his email (is this a web-based email like hotmail or yahoo?). Anything is certainly possible. How did he tell you that his email was "hacked".
Yes its a yahoo account.Thanks for the info.
He simply said that his email may have been hacked because he can't access it with his password.Will he ever be abble to access it again?
One more thing I know he was online as viewed in the personal profiles in yahoo IM a day after he told me his email had been hacked.
He was able to get on to Yahoo IM? Well, I guess it's still a possibility. If his email was "hacked" and the password changed he might have been able to file a complaint with Yahoo Abuse and they may have reset it. It is possible that whoever "hacked" (cracked probably a better word) his email may have had a malicious intent and deleted any and all emails sent.
Hmm....well have the guy try to get into his email again, and have him make sure that his caps lock is not on.
Good point cyber1d!
pearl,
I think that you have already formed an opinion?
Why don't you two just create two new e-mail accounts that only you two know?
But that is not the problem I feel?

This is a security site, NOT marriage guidance?
Cheers
Please correct me if i'm wrong, but how could he be using that account in Yahoo personal profiles if he's email got hacked/cracked into.??Quote:

What i'm saying is that if he's using that ID then he CAN get into he's email account with yahoo...
Cause last i new when you started an account with yahoo Messenger you can also open an email account with the same User Name..
So i doubt that he's email has been hacked/cracked.
Maybe this person has just said this as he/she does not wanna talk to you know more?
Well that's my 2 cents.
