I think I've been hacked

Can't log into my account.

Says wrong password.
Click the change password link and it tells me I have the wrong email address.

I have both right.

Any ideas anyone ?

P.S. This is my spare locostbuilders identity you might possibly guess my other identity at a wild guess

So - which account would that be... the locostbuilders account?

Just use the new one... if someone has hacked it I wouldn't worry so much - it's not like you're performing money transfers...

A lot of key logger trojans about just now --- the latest version of Avira Premium on our main Windows PC seems to be catching a lot in emails.
Interestingly I did a fresh install of AOL 9 on a clients computer and the AOL CD was infected !

I did nothing to my account or pc before I got locked out, and also tried accessing from different PC's and browsers. None of which worked. Deffo an issue at the server end somewhere.

Very odd though....

Good luck finding the problem!

I use AVG at this end and it updates every time I log on and there's an update available.

I'm sort of glad I mentioned this publicly now

no avast or avg updates or ANYTHING changed on my system... even got blocked off on my iPhone so I'm guessing it's LCB side of things rather than my system?
