JangoFett4Hire 0 Report post Posted February 5, 2007 So, someone hacked into an old seldom email address of mine and sent out shitty emails to some people in my address book, other randoms etc. Mean, harrassing emails. A friend of mine told me about it just recently, so I have no idea how long it's been going on. I've requested that the account be shut down, obviously. Now I gotta worry about mending fences with people who may have thought that it was me. One thing that concerns me is, is email harrassment considered on the same level as like prank phone calling? Can I get in trouble if threatening emails were sent out under this address? Spamming? Does anyone know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So just consider it friend spring cleaning and see who is standing when the dust settles. The ones who aren't? Eh screw em, easy to replace. I've had it happen a few times, usually it's some kid who thinks it's funny and nothing has ever come of it. Hell, the one who hacked mine threatened to kill someone in a email. That could have been bad. But they realized it wasn't me since they live in Oregon and it's not like I can drive right over and kill them. You're ok, but I would recommend changing some of your other passwords in your emails as a safety. Doesn't have to be a major change, just enough. That's how the hacker got into some of my other emails as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
