I msged the hacker, he gave me an apology and the new password to my account. I login and delete all my buddies. Still going to reformat both computers, but It seems like hes done with my account.

He responded to "how did you get me?" with "i only got your aim". He confirmed I never downloaded anything.

I dont think I will be making another AIM account.

One of my friends fell for the scammer.

His money was sent to sirwatts1.

I got my aim back, but the fuker got my gmail. I have to redo everything now.

I'm not really sure he did that... AIM passwords are extremely easy to reset if you know a little about the person.

I made sure the security answer to my AIM reset is something like "dslfhjasadlkfjwelkrj" so it's pretty unguessable. I also use an AIM password that I don't use for anything else just in case someone was able to figure out what it is.

I don't know what else to do to protect myself, but hopefully that is sufficient. I assume someone good enough or someone with insider access could get in somehow regardless if they really wanted it.

oh fake below tried to add me on fb too, but I rejected him cause I've never met him and have barely exchanged a few words

Re: AIM \"AnnetteObrestad\" Scammer
 

If the hacker is getting through a backdoor on AIM, then I would recommend using a 3rd party program such as Pidgin, GAIM, Trillian, or one of the many options available out there. There is no need to stop using AIM because of this person.

The backdoors that exist in AIM do not exist in these programs, and even offer some higher levels of security over the basic messenger directly from AOL.
