****ed doesn't really cut the description. On to the details>
Yesterday or was it before yesterday? (I'll get more exact details after I interrogate my family) My Dad tells me he's unable to log into his gmail or his msn. I didn't think much of this at first as once I had to login using the secured login and then it worked fine after I cleared some cookies. I tried it, no luck. Tried other computers. No luck. Now if that wasn't bad enough I get a call from my older sister's and her email accounts eborowsky at gmail & girlpianist at msn have been hacked and she's been locked out of them.
Strangely both my gmail and msn are fine. I went ahead and changed her paypal password that uses her msn email as well as some other passwords (school emails) But this seems pretty serious and I have no idea what to do or how this could happen. 4 accounts 4!!!!! All four account had the same password BUT some of them had capitalized first letters, so they weren't say...identical.
so what now? or any speculations as to how this could have happened? and lastly, can I be sure my dad and sister have been hacked?
confused,

time to go eat dinner but I figured i'd best first post on the forum I trust most.
