Is it possible for MSN messenger to be hijacked? Overnight I've lost half of my contact list, a dozen other people's names have been added and the rest blocked. I haven't got a clue as to how or why, maybe you guys do!

Some technical specs: XP Home (with SP1) I'm using Firefox 0.9, my dad uses IE6 (shame on him). MSN version 6.2 (I think, could be 6.1) with MSN plus version 3.01.94

Well, you canlog in from any computer that has MSN messenger installed. So someone must have gotten into your account.

I'm very sure there are some programs that can log you out and or do specific things on your MSN, I don't think they're able to get your password though.

It's really easy. And that's a BIG problem. ANYBODY can hijack your MSN or Hotmail if they know answer to your secret question (if you live in USA, they need to know something else too, I don't remember what. But it's still easy)

secret question? why do people use those things? I guess they have a purpose but I dunno, i always answer my secret questions with something stupid--so, it would have to be dumb luck for someone to get it

Dunno. Most of the time, I answer with random numbers and letters.....
