What do I do if my email account was compromised?

Email, facebook, and bank account have been compromised by the same person. How can I charge them?

  • I have a friend who is the victim of fraud. A previous boyfriend has gained access to her email, university email, Facebook, and bank account. From these accounts he has been sending malicious emails to people on the email and friends list. What can be done about this? And what is the law? - For just a email or facebook account, what kind of legal action can be taken? - For the bank account, should the police be contacted? Thanks for your help regarding this!

  • Answer:

    Well, first, she should change all of her passwords to something he won't be able to figure out. I would definitely contact the police. Especially regarding the bank account. The facebook and email accounts can fall under the harassment by communication, but I'm not sure. I would certainly have her contact the police immediately though.

yeah there are hijacking laws and privacy laws but they mean nothing if she gave him the passwords. Diactivate all acounts and start them up again and block him on facebook, msn and everything

Yes definitely laws are there, but it depends how she will prove this.And secondly she should contact the police for the bank account matter and this may also help her case with face book and email.
