I know for a fact that a friend of mine hacked my hotmail and nearly destroyed my forum and got access to my MSN which has a lot of things he CANNOT know about. I'd like to know if Gmail has any such weaknesses.

How did he hack your Hotmail account? I doubt it was actually a weakness in Hotmail, but rather something simpler like guessing your password. Any webmail system is "vulnerable" to that.

Hmmmmmm... I highly doubt that he guessed my password. See, he told someone how he did it and they told me... it all makes sense... although he could lie... just like him, that lying cracker-wannabe.

~Arkhan

more likely he sent you a file which actually had a trojan attatched to it and just found out your password that way, its pretty easy really.

Hmmmm... yeah that could be it, he once copied the Sims files off me... >_> how can I stop him giving me Trojans?

~Arkhan

get a virus checker, a firewall and dont accept any dodgy looking files like "porn.exe"

basically dont accept files from him

Will Norton AV 2004 do it?

Yeah. Actually the most likely method he used is the good ol' n00b tactic of guessing your secret question...

Woot. Thanks. Do you have an idea how you make a trojan?
