This guy is driving me insane!
For those who hadn't heard I was recently hacked through an ancient email account which I had set as my RS account's registered email. I never really used the email for anything other than RS and some fansites, the fansite part was obviously a mistake being that was how he most likely got the email and than easily changed my RS password with it.
Me not knowing much about being secure on the internet had my actual main email listed as an alternate on the ancient email so I've been getting notices that someone has been trying to recover the password for that email. This active email actually holds important information like my paypal, bank and work info.
I have since created 3 new emails, one for RS alone. One for FB which I made just while I was making other emails and one as an alternate for the RS email from a different email provider also linked to nothing else. I changed my RS password of course making it numbers/caps/lower case/symbols. I changed my recovs on everything and changed my FB password and bank password and everything else just incase.
I than deleted the ancient email account but checking just tonight he has managed to re-open it, so I changed the recovs again and password again and removed everything linked to it that mattered.
I also did a full system scan with two different anti-virus programs just incase I had any viruses or anything but they found nothing.
It's really scary because if this guy wanted to he could literally wreck my life financially and just make heaps of trouble if he were to get on my FB and message people random shit.
I'm just hoping I have done enough that he can no longer access any of my accounts whether they be emails/FB/RS or anything else.
