Messenger Hacked? by philipe on 06-27-2006 at 01:50 PM

Heya everyone,

In the last few weeks several contacts have told me that "I" apparently signed into Windows Messenger several times for several hours and changed my name from philipe to phil, but I definately know that I couldn't have done this, as I was at school during those weeks and never attempted to sign in. My contacts also tried to talk to "me" but "I" never replied. After I came home from school and signed in, not only my name was changed, but also several of my contacts were blocked. The only reason for this that I can think of is that someone found out my password somehow and signed in. Hopefully though this is not the case...If you have any solutions to this problem, please post them.
