I get hacked every day on myspace, and every time i make a new myspace, it happens again. how do i stop it?

Answer 1

You may have a keystroke logger run virus and spyware scans.

Answer 2

A similar thing is happening to me as well.All this morning I've been redirected to the austrailian yahoo answers.I live in the United States.Also last night I asked a question about hacking the linux kernel on an old laptop.For some reason Yahoo Answer dicides this was a violation to their policy and deleted my entire email account which really screwed me up big time.Once I re-signed up and asked on yahoo questions and forum people told me it was because I used the words hack.I know for a fact that hacking the linux kernel is fully legal and encouraged by the linux maintainers as well as Linus Torvald himself.So how you are able to ask such a question with the words hack in it is beyond me. Sorry for the rant Im just having a bad day.

Answer 3

you should also scan your computer for a virus or keylogger. They could be getting your passwords and username thru a keylogger.

Answer 4

Wow! thats a big problem try one more time with a tottally different name and address. I am not an expert on this kinda stuff. I really dont know what to tell you, maybe you should just stay away from myspace for a while and maybe the hacking will stop. The person who is hacking had to be someone on your friend list or knows your myspace so before you tell anyone about your knew account wait a day and see what happens. Other than that change your password to something thats really complicated and keep it to yourself. Good Luck!

Answer 5

I have a neighbor who was in the same situation. Her parents didn't know about it until the hackers started posting death threats against other kids in her school using her account. Then the police stepped in and threatened to jail or deport her and her family.





She had written her password in her notebook and other kids had copied it from there. Check whether you are doing that too. On your next account use a strong password and keep it to yourself.

Answer 6

u have to ., have to change ur password to a stronger one i use one password for everything and its second nature now but its a strong one.....use a mix of letters and numbers....never use words ..



bad passwords:

-bond456

-90john7

-dragon678

Good passwords:

-d546fh890k

-ru660scv352

u get the idea a good password is like a phone card pin number or anything like that so make a good password and engrave it into ur head just llike u should with ur social secrurity number

Answer 7

1. Make sure you have changed your pass word to something different

2. Also if your myspace and email address you use for myspace are the same change that too

3. Everytime you login make sure the url is myspace.com

Answer 8

Are you using the same password every time you make a new account?? If so, definitely change your password.

Answer 9

Just a list:



1. Get a new e-mail and password



2. If you have a suspect for a person that's doing it, feed him/her fake passwords. Even if you don't let a fake 'slip' sometimes.



3. Don't go for obvious passwords, if you know a foreign language, use it! Unless somebody finds your password written down (which is another thing, don't do it!) chances are they won't spell it right. Go for wierd passwords, ones that nobody will guess but that are simple enough to remember.



Good luck, I hope that you foil the hacker

Answer 10

A couple things.



First of all having a "good" password is only part of what goes into securing a MySpace account. There are several preference settings that must be tightened to ensure that your account does not become compromised. For instance, you should have your MySpace setup so that noone can add comments to anything without your approval... you should also make it so that they cannot leave comments that include html scripts... ie, no pictures ... text only.



Also, you should NEVER and I do mean never download those pre-made templates that make your page look so kewl... they usually contain their own malicious code that not only infects you but the people visiting your page.



Having adequate protection on your computer to protect you from malware is also quite important. This means investing in a proper security suite (antivirus, firewall, antispyware, etc) that is preferably from ONE RELIABLE vendor (like McAfee or even Norton.. and not that freeware crap)... and ensuring it is properly configured and kept completely up to date. The same goes for keeping windows updates current with the latest security patches.





As for finding out who it is... most likely there is no one person hacking you... you are probably leaving your pages unsecured as mentioned above and anyone who knows how to take advantage of them including automated scripts that take advantage are simply doing so.



Good Luck

Answer 11

To start, I'd recommend changing your password to a difficult password. For example, Y2ksE!)(5De1vC. That may look difficult to remember, but after you type it a couple of times and repeat it you should remember it. When you change your password, make sure it is 14 characters, and has many mixed symbols. Next, make sure you use a different e-mail address when you register because that could be what's causing you part of your problem. Hope that helps!
