Passwords stolen

[alxne]

I wasn't sure where to post this but since the 13th I've been having problems.

 

Firstly, I run a website that uses Amazon SES to deliver emails upon registration, notifcations that kind of thing. On average I sent 100-150 emails a day. I received a warning yesterday that I my account was locked due to 411,000 emails being sent since the 13th. I can't understand how that can happen. I've asked Amazon to provide details of those emails but have yet to be given an example. I've had no failure to deliver emails either, or complaints. So I'm at a loss as to whats gone on.

 

Second, my spotify account was being used by someone else from the 16th. I logged in and there were 70 playlists, 100's of liked songs of someone elses doing. They were also using it because my recently played was constantly updating with new things even after removing them. I had to contact spotify to delete my account and create a new one.

 

Thirdly, I received a notification that my facebook account was attempted to get into last night. Admittedly, spotify and facebook had the same password. But the amazon used a different email and a password that couldn't be known unless it was written down in front of you.

 

I've spent all night changing passwords for everything I can think of and reinstalling Windows from scratch. I don't know how this has happened.

Your passwords might be easy to guess... First you must try to think of a strong password. It should contain capital and lower case letters, symbols and numbers. Try not to keep the password something which cant be easily guessed or something only you know.

 

Second try to enable 2 step verification wherever possible. This adds an extra layer of security for your account.

 

This is what you can do to keep your account safe
