How to find out who keeps hacking into my email & stuff?
Someone hacked into my comcast email account, my yahoo account, my myspace & facebook accounts and god only knows what else! How can I find out who’s doing this? Can I trace it somehow? I’m pretty sure this is a targeted attack from someone that knows me because they have done this to my boyfriends verizon account as well. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to find out who is doing this. Thanks alot!

It could be that you are using the same password for all of those accounts, and that on any one of them you could have been hacked and they just tried to use the same password and email address to access the other ones. First ! you should never use the same password for all of your accounts.
The best thing to do , would be to report the issue to your banks and such, do a credit report. If they have gained that much access to all those accounts, then I’d be curious and concerned what else they have gotten access too.

There is really no way to know who is doing it, but you should make your passwords stronger, like instead of using the word “cookie” use “C00kie” at least one capital, use numbers for letters, and make it alphanumeric. Also dont use the same password for everything, instead use variations of the same word.
