possible hacker - HELP by tornado__18 on 08-19-2008 at 11:24 AM

When I am logging in to messenger I am always getting a message saying that I am logging from another location.
What should I do to terminate this?
Is it possible to know who is hacking into my account? does msn keep records of activity logs?
Thanks

change password.

Thanks
Already done that.
Is it possible to track / to find who was doing that?

I also suggest changing your secret question just in-case the person guessed that.

even if you could, you wouldn't be able to get enough information to find out whether you know the person or not.

But with IP addresses it is possible to obtain the final user... correct?
Do you know if msn keeps that info?

IP address could possibly track them to an ISP. Then youneed to ask them who it was assigned to etc. (very unlikely to happen seeing as it's not a criminal case and you aren't the police ^o) ) lol
