What do I do if someone changed my email password?

Someone keeps trying to hack into my email account. What should I do? I have already changed my password.?

Answer:

Make sure your passwords to your secret or security questions are not related. Use more than 8 characters to your answers in your secret/security questions. A combination of numbers, lower case and upper case letters. Just make sure to write it down for your records. You have a secret admirer somewhere who knows your email address and keeps on clicking "forgot password." Once you click forgot password, security questions comes out. If your passwords are easy, then you have been hacked.
