SEARCH HELP How do I know if my account has been compromised (hacked)

Are your contacts getting emails that you didn’t send? Is your Sent folder (or any other folder) suddenly empty or missing? A hacked (or compromised) account has been accessed by someone other than you. It usually means someone figured out your password. Check for these signs: Your inbox is full of MAILER-DAEMON rejection notices for messages you didn't send. People you know are getting emails from you that you didn’t send. There are outgoing messages in your Sent, Drafts or Outbox folder that you didn’t create or send. Your account folders (Sent, Deleted, Spam, Inbox, etc.) have been emptied or deleted. Your Address Book contacts have been erased. During sign-in or when sending a message, you're asked to pass an image challenge. Emails you try to send are suddenly getting refused and returned to you. There are contacts in your Address Book you didn’t add. You keep getting bumped offline when you're signed into your account. Your email signature suddenly has a link you didn’t put there. You're not getting new mail, OR your new mail is going straight into your Saved IMs folder.
