Before anything else happens, I will try to post this. So the hacking has mostly been done to my accounts. I have been trying to post comments on blogs I follow and on my own blog and it doesn't work. This has happened to me once before, with another blog I had, on a different Blogger account. It was a blog with many visits a day, and with many followers, and one day I just got hacked and could not do anything with it. The person that did the hacking was even posting offensive comments on other blogs and impersonating me. I ended up having to shut down the blog and my accounts to avoid any more hassles. This blog now, I have had it for over a year, and everything was fine as long as I had no followers, no readers, no comments. The moment I started having followers, shit started to happen. I don't know if this is the same person - I never did find out who it was - but what I see is that I probably will have to shut down this blog as well, much to my chagrin. I love blogging, I love reading other blogs and posting comments there, I love the interaction with other bloggers - even if it's only virtual - and I actually need it. It may soud strange but this is the only contact I have with adult human beings outside my family and my son's school teachers. Having been without a job for so long has made me lose contact with former friends, because I cannot keep up with their life styles, and being a stay at home mother means I don't even get the interaction with fellow co workers one gets when one is at a job - even if one doesn't have a single thing in common with one's co workers, it is still adult contact. So to me blogging is very much about having adult contact, and feeling a lit less alone, feeling a little less closed in a small world. I think that might be coming to an end, and I do not even understand why people are so silly as to do these kind of things. I don't really know what someone would gain from hacking me out of my own blog, but hey... I hope the person who is doing this at least feels some validation for doing it. I wouldn't want it to be in vain... so people, if it comes to that, thank u for all the support you have shown me in the last few months, thank you for all your comments, and I hope I will soon be commenting on your blogs again!

Hmm, the thing I think is they probably know your password. Either the password is too easy/simple (relating to personal informations they might know or words easy to find out), or they have installed a keylogger on your computer. It could be someone you know from the Internet. They could also know your password from your email address or you wrote it somewhere. I really liked your blog and it makes me really sad that you might be gone. Hope you'll come back one day.
ResponderEliminarI've changed the passwords already, and a virus was detected on my old PC but I haven't been working from it lately. Anyway, we'll see what happens. I don't even care who the person is, I just pity that person. You have to be reallllly a sad person to do that kind of thing. It's not like I ever used my PC to check my bank accounts or to buy online, so it isn't even a question of getting infos on my bank details and access to my bank accounts, it was really just a question of ruining something I care about.
