has this happened to you guys before? i’m using YM and was in a private message with someone. then i received a pm from another person saying he’s receiving my messages intended for the other person i was originally talking to. he even copy-paste my messages and he was right!
what happened here? how can i prevent this from happening again?
Thanks.

Haven’t seen or heard that before.
What version of Yahoo! Messenger?
And did you know this other person ?
Yes… tobs.. its really happening even i am also having the same problem while using Yahoo Messenger. Someone kept on reading the PM of ours and he told my friend that he tracked the IP addressed first and the hacked the account and set up in a way that he receives everymessage of my friend which she sends to me or receives any. We tried it with different id’s also but since he has the IP address of her, he can find out any yahoo id logged from that perticular IP address. Not even he can read the messages of ours but also he kept of booting the messenger also. Even am also looking a good solution how to stop this guy from interefering between us.
Thanks.

Scan your PC to see if there are trojans, keyloggers that are hiding in there. there are a lot of programs that do it so i suggest it scanning it several times with different programs. After making sure that there are no malicious program inside your PC, change your IP address if your on Cable/DSL.
Yes, i cleaned it most of the available softwares detectors but couldnt found any hidden files or malicious program detected. My friend changer her ip address also and just now informed me that even now also he traced the new ip address and still reading the pm’s. Does anyone knows about the software by which we can stop him interefering in messenger like blocking him from or so. For booting problem i used the jeff’s codes it really worked thanks for jeff. Still the problem of reading the pm’s needs to be solved.
more than likely he sent her a keylogger or something or maybe even you..cuz i dont believe someone can trace your ip and hack your account and or set it up to where they get the messages also.
My question is, were both people using messenger? Or was one using a third party application?
This happened to us in our room, and one person was pm’ing another, but everyone in the room got the pm. I there it could very well have been a server glitch.
Whitestone, my question to your friend who supposedly got your IP, and did what he said he did, is HOW he got your IP. They are not as easy to get as they once used to be.
yaaa.. Netti, its correct still even today. Yes, it can be possible if u checks the same related forums about the problem… they mentioned it very well its possible. But they didnt mentioned how to solve the problem or how to stop him from being involved with other personspm’s. ill search the forum for the related topic earlier discussed here and post the copy of that.
Oh I’m not denying that it’s possible. I KNOW it’s possible. I just think that its not as easy to get them as they used to be. But so many people on here talk about hacking your computer, frying your computer, stealing this and taking that, when 99% of them are all talk, and can’t really do any of it. So of course I question anyone that says they can read my pm’s… lmao Or Hack or fry my computer. But that’s just me. I’m very skeptical, I suppose.
Getting someone’s IP is not a big deal, I mean it’s not like it’s your phone number, there’s really not too much to do with it. And as for interrupting someone’s pm’s?? I just don’t hear of it happening. Its more of the fact that the person you’re pm’ing with is the one with the keylogger, or is actually the same person.
Who knows, but if I find anything else out about this topic, I’ll let you know.
