Ask HN: Gmail Account Consitently Hacked

1 pointsby lindaleeover 12 years ago
My Gmail account keeps getting hacked and spammed by the same email address even after changing my password. A few other accounts have also bee hijacked including PayPal. Any suggestions welcomed.

I think a fuller description of your problems might be called for if anyone is going to come up with anything helpful.<p>Try to be clear and explicit and avoid generalised terms like "hacked" and "spammed" that might have different meanings to different people.<p>Describe what has happened and what you did in response.

Turn on two-step authentication.

Did you scan your computer before changing the passwords? I think you have a keylogger installed in your computer.

Have you changed your secret question or something like that? I had a friend that 'hacked' an email account and used the secret question to mantain the access to the account if the hacked person changed his password

Have you checked whether some of your mails are getting forwarded to an unknown email address?<p>Go to Gmail settings page and check all the settings.
