It's all fairly simple now that I've looked it over a few times. I realised I made the stupidest mistake which led to my demise.

Secret Questions.

Okay, it all started a day or two before I got hacked. I was playing Runescape and suddenly I got contacted by this guy. He asked me which school I went to. He said that his friend Spencer knows me. I know around 10 Spencers, so I told him. He says that Spencer goes there too.

My high school was the answer to the question on my hotmail.

But how did he know my address? Well, it was true. He did know a certain Spencer Kunkel, whom plays Runescape and must have mentioned me. He knew my Email address.

Well, he simply got in there, contacted a few places for passwords and then eventually one of them fit in with my Character.

Thus, I was hacked. He changed the passwords on most of my stuff and ended up causing a lot of trouble.

Luckily I haven't made the same mistake now biglaugh.gif

I'm sorry for what happened to you, if there's anything I can do to help, you know where to find me.
