    Hacked email

    Thank you for this very clear explanation. Unfortunately, I do not have the kind of specialized hardware or exchange account to do what you suggest.

    I find the subject interesting and what you wrote has added to my knowledge on the matter.

    Regards.

    Hacked email

    Hi

    If a spammer is using a hacked/spoofed email account to send out emails, then all you do is send a bounceback to the original hacked account, not the hacker/Spammer "he does not include his email in the list". The hacker/Spammer does not know it has been bounced back and you continue to recieve emails from them. However, all that has happened is that genuine people who have been hacked and have sent out these mass emails recieved bounce back emails that you or they can do noting about. "Apart from the obvious alert to change passwords"

    To be honest, there is no real way to fight back unless you have specialised hardware or an exchange account so that spam is auto filtered before it is sent on to you.

    If you are using online emails such as outlook, you can add emails to the blocked user or domain list, but spammers change so regularly and they still have your email address, so you cannot keep up.

    Until email providers spend some money and provide realtime protection in there servers, we can do very little.

    However, what you state in your post "2. change all your email passwords" is a great solution but everyone person needs to change their passwords and complexity on a regular basis to minimise / prevent email account hacking, but what % of the population do you think does that on a regular basis? This is where the weak link lies, even if password duration policies are set, they are mostly simple to remember passwords because we have so many password in our heads these days that we need a hard drive installed to remeber them all.

    This said though, if it is junk email from companies etc, then you can bounce them back but most of the send email accounts are not monitored for email returns. "Please do not reply to this email"

    Thanks

  4. I've Been Hacked and the Hackers changed the email

    Can someone please help me to stop being repeatedly hacked by the same hacker?

    The account that I am currently writing this on is continually being hacked by the same person, and they keep logging back in to change the password. You might ask.. "Why not just change your email or phone number so the hacker can't keep 2-step verifying
    the account and regaining access, thus locking you out?".. GREAT QUESTION!! Well whenever I fill out the form and regain access to the account to change the password, I can't change the email or phone number for 30 days.. by the end of the next day the hacker
    logs back in, changes my password again, and has access. Every time I regain access the stupid 30 day waiting period begins again.

    If anyone anywhere has a way around this horribly built security by Microsoft, I would be ever so happy to be rid of this hacker.

    By the way, I called and started live chats with agents who tell me "There is absolutely no way around the 30 day waiting period." So here I am.. in an endless loop of hack-recover-hack-recover-hack.

    Help?
