momto3boys Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 Im pretty sure my ex has been getting in to my email which now has me paranoid he knows the password to all my things and has been getting on all my accounts. He knew i was on this website and knew my user name. I tried googling my email address to see if it popped up that way but it didnt. I know he knows my email password but he has said how much he hates me and doesnt want anything to do with me so i figured i was safe keeping my email password the same. But i see i am not. So now i am paranoid about everything i post. Has this happened to anyone else? I have of course since then changed my passwords to everything.
oldguy Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) Change your passwords frequently & on EVERYTHING including your CC or ATM pin, but especially after you break up with someone. You should also change your door locks after some breakups. We change the security code on our home alarm panel about every 6 months to a year just because. Edited September 27, 2011 by oldguy
Author momto3boys Posted September 27, 2011 Author Posted September 27, 2011 Thanks for the advice. I am living in a different state than him now (although he came up here and didnt tell me he was coming and is coming back up again after just leaving which is odd. But i dont think he'd try to come in my house or anything, but now im super paranoid about everything, lol.
LuckyCharms Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 In my opinion, if he exhibits any more stalker-like behaviors, you should report him. Who knows, he might not have qualms about doing illegal activities like breaking and entering, or hacking into more serious accounts, etc. Do everything that you can do to protect yourself. He probably isn't in a healthy state of mind right now.
Author momto3boys Posted September 27, 2011 Author Posted September 27, 2011 I feel sorta dumb now but he is the one who ended things with me. I found him on dating websites (my friends are on the same site!) and he may have been getting in to my email to see if ive contacted any men or if im on any dating websites myself. He tells me constantly he has so much resentment towards me and wants me to move on, thats why i figured i was safe. I may delete my email address and make a new one that he wont know.
speedster Posted October 1, 2011 Posted October 1, 2011 if you change your passwords and he continues to access your accounts, it's possible you have a keylogger on your computer. it will capture every keystroke. some capture screenshots as well and both sides of a conversation. first, i'd run a spyware/malware scan like superantispyware- it may not be able to get rid of it, but it should find it. if it does find something google it and contact the company that sells it. they will help you remove it. good luck.
