Saw it alot when I was traveling in Asia. . . Sometimes I would click on history to edit my mails and have a long list of other users emails come up. . . I think that a majority of internet cafes know about this potentiality and set their networks to not store temporary offline data. . . If you don't want anyone to know delete temporary files and history. . . Even then your personal messages could already be on the "network". . . .

You had a password reminder. . . Did you enter your existing password? If so then considering the possibility the reminder came from a hostile source they would now have password as well as email. . . .

Is unlikely.

What have you been upto Mokko that would make people want to gain access to one of your accounts?

Don't think I did. I think I just deleted the email because I already knew my password! Then I went to my account and changed the password from there just in case. But obviously to no avail. As it was entered into.

Up to....me? Come on....I'm a perfect angel πŸ˜‰

I am sure that 4 pics have been deleted and that a password reminder for that account was sent to me email without my asking for it.

I changed passwords on both accounts. I don't know much about this sotr of thing I'm afraid 😞
email is transparent. That is, it travels the internet, bouncing from server to server between sender and recipient - in plain text.
Whenever you send an email, you must think - 'Is this OK on a postcard?'

Never put anything you don't want public in an email. And the same goes for anything you receive in emails too - it's public.

If you need to send 'sensitive' things then you have to encrypt it.

Same goes for web sites - if it's not https (secure - padlock icon) then don't put your details there.

If someone was trying to hack your account, then they could have hit the 'password reminder' option - which would send a message to your email. Someone sharp could possibly intercept that message and then have access. The other possibility is that they guessed your password. A 'good' password will look random - which is something very difficult to achieve. Bad passwords are things like dates of birth, childrens names, car registration numbers etc, - things that people who know you could guess at.
