Most commonly hackers breach through on forums by hacking your e-mail account.
We can't unfortunately do anything against those type of hacks as they are made on accounts that are not related to us.

First of all, avoid using free webmails such as hotmail and yahoo, that are a treasure for any hacker out there.

Try also using a complicated password, as most people use easy and short passwords that can be found by anyone who knows the person.

Hi, support requests are meant to be done in the Support Forum, whereas here we're in the General Discussions. And since Typlo has already posted his recommended suggestions, I will lock this now.
