In Dec. I was the victim of “identity theft” so to speak. The ‘hackers’ (whom I believe are former co-workers with a vendetta) managed to get into my personal E-Mail account. From there they sent a very embarressing E-Mail to all of my contacts! Also, they went to my MySpace & Facebook and changed things to embarress me. In addition, that E-Mail account was linked to all of my credit cards, bank accounts, 401K and other personal information.
I contact Microsoft (my E-Mail provider) and asked them for a record of IP Addresses, password changes, etc. for my account so I could trace the offenders. However I was told that Microsoft would only release that information to law enforcement via a court order or subpena.
I went to the local law enforcement and told them all of this and they said they couldn’t do anything because there was no evidence of a crime!
What can I do?! Please help! Thank you very much!
Since this I have changed everything so I am well protected now.
Also it should be known that I wasn’t able to see directly any changes to bank/money accounts however I wouldn’t be able to fully know until I can view the records from Microsoft.
