Hi Guys and Girls,

Yesterday afternoon my email account was

hacked a fellow Cagger received an email from

my account asking for money, please be aware

those of you have my personal address and

check for anything unusual occurring.

I am unable to utilise all of the facilities

of the forum as a newby again.

If there is a member of the site team/admin

on line is there any way of transferring my

status/rep to the new user name please.

Brig.

Because someone had an email from you Brigadier that you never sent, it doesn't necessarily mean your email address has been hacked. You need to ask the person receiving the email for a full header printout and see what email address lies underneith yours. If the route of the email is traced this way, you will more than likely find it originated in some third world country.

Wecome back Brig

Hi Coniff origin Cyprus.

Unfortunately the whole e-mail account is no

longer accessible I cannot seem to be able to

recover it.

Can my status be transferred to this account please.

Brig.

Hi Intend thanks, what a mess all my records

contacts etc., now lost can't recover the old

e-mail address, so I'm back a a newby:mad2:

Hello everyone yesterday afternoon my

e-mail was compromised and left me

with no access to all the information contacts

etc.,

If Brokenarrow is around can you confirm

the actual content of the e-mail received.

I am back on the Forum as a newby no status

no post count or reps.

:mad2:

But technologly can't delete your knowledge and experience so you are far from being a newby.

Need a bit of advice on my thread - LTSB now got Apex writing.

Intend

Hi Intend how can I help.???

Brig

I don't think your old account on cag would have been wiped - just disabled while things were sorted.

As it's been shown that it was not an issue with the cag site, they may be able to arrange for you just to have new password and settings.

If not welcome to the new guy

Brig - will bump thread to top

Cheers Intend

Hi, the whole Bl**dy e-mail account has gone T*TS up

no access at all.

Martin disabled your private messaging in your other CAG a/c until you got things sorted. AFAIK there's nothing untoward at this end so it seems as if it's just your Hotmail a/c that was compromised.

There shouldn't be anything preventing you reverting back to your other a/c. To make sure log-in to it and change your password & email.

Sound advice is what it is Brig. Your usual standard of excellence will ensure your rep will be back in no time

Brig - it was not just BA who got the spoof email - it was all of us. Just to explain - the Brig gave us an email addy as he was acting as a Court Buddy for a fellow Cagger and it was that email account that was hacked. In future, I would use Gmail not Hotmail but I do not think it was a CAG problem. CAG should be able to restore your original user account if you give them a new email addy. I have a copy of the offending email (in my spam folder for safe keeping) and it obviously was not from you, it was not signed with the name you use.

ok well well sort that later

what was it brig?

brig

Google Chrome and permanently logged in.

Have upgraded account now this account

is with a new addy.

The whole e-mail account has disappeared

any I can't retore it:madgrin:

can we confirm this is a hotmail account that has disappeared

or do you mean your org cag log-in

dx

It seems to be both:???:

ok we know why cag is not working

the log-in i think was disabled

await that one for admin here to sort

strange about the hotmail ac though

or is it your password has been changed and you cant access it ?

is that the error you get?

dx

Hi DX, There seems to be no trace of the account

through Window , have set up a new account

and it is supposed to link to the old which shows

in the list of linked accounts but does not respond??

Brig.

what does not respond?

dx

I know I'm a useless prat with technology

I kept permanently logged into the old e-mail account

and CAG there now seems to be no way of accessing

the old e-mail account or ability to sign into it.

work your way through this:
