Ummmmm. I am the REAL mysteriousfl...@yahoo.com. I guess it's
super-duper easy for a person's user names and passwords to get
hacked when accessing e-mail over Tor. I also noticed that
someone has been reading my gmails (since they were marked as
read), so I changed my password over there and will never access
gmail through Tor again. Someone ALSO made a copy of my debit
card and tried to use it in another state, but that may be
coincidence. Does anyone have any knowledge as to HOW a hacker
may get this information? Is it through an exit server? I
certainly never made any online purchases through Tor.
Or he just ignored the SSL warning like so many people do.
All the replies make good points. Question - how do we know which is
the real Mysteriousflyer, or if there are even 2?
The latest one hasn't responded how or w/ what he was accessing his
Gmail acct. Sometimes from public wifi? There are too many unanswered
questions & variables.
Has he checked for key loggers or trojans, that could capture his PW?
One simple way hackers get a PW.
He didn't answer if always used encrypted connection to Gmail, or - as
mentioned - if ever got a security warning & ignored it. Don't know
about Gmail, but some providers still allow clients to use unencrypted
connections.
If uses a laptop / phone, has he ever left it alone, while logged into
Gmail, or PWs are unsecured? If uses an email client, are stored login
/ SMTP PWs secured w/ reasonably strong PW, or are they stored
unprotected? Many other factors.
