CAUTION Website.Ws suspicious

werty · 11-25-2010, 08:38 AM

Hi Everyone. Today I wanted to share something very suspicious I found on my gmail account, which I use for some domains as the whois email.

All my emails were being forwarded to:

renewals@website.ws

First of all, I had never heard of this site. Second of all, why would my email be forwarding to this email address? Are these people sniffing on me?

Please share your opinion on this... I just emailed them, and I am very mad with this. This doesn't have a valid explanation. Clearly someone got into my gmail account, and entered this address.

how did you find this out? in your email accounts outgoing box you saw the sent emails?
that is not good!
change your passwords immediately.

Its a hack. Just change the setting and check for domain forward or any other option.

Changed all passwords + security questions. I found it under "setting" + "forwarders". Very upset with this. This account contains sensitive information...

double post...

Are public email accounts (gmail, yahoo, hotmail, etc.) easier to hack than private ones? Or a hacker can get around any really? I had a very strong password... How can this happen without someone knowing my password?

You probably have a keylogger or logged in from a terminal with a keylogger on it. Never login anywhere (you care about) from anywhere.
