    E-Mail Cracking

    Hi there,

    for an hour or so, someone keeps trying to hack into my e-mails! I can see that because I always get messages when I log on that there have been failed login attempts which definitely not were mine (up to 39 such attempts at one time). Apparently the hacker doesn't know my pw since he can't get in. I'd say that it is a very safe pw, but is there anything else I can do? Sorry for it being me asking that question, but I simply can't think of anything. Panda Spyware scan has been negative.

    Nevermind, I found the problem. It was my e-mail client I don't use anymore that was running in the background all the time and had the wrong password. Those queries also seem to be listed if they are unsuccessful. I'm feeling like a big stupid idiot now... ;-)

      self hacking

      Though not near as dangerous, it is sometimes difficult to detect.
