  • My Gmail account was hacked...couple of years ago. They just sent out emails, though. I just changed my password myself, made it something super hard (I have trouble remembering it! lol), and haven't had a problem since. I don't think. Excuse me. I'm off to check my account and be sure.

  • I was hacked, but they didn't change my password, they just used the account to send out emails. Have you contacted the host-- Google, Yahoo???
