One thing you should check for if your email was compromised is the pop3 forwarding and imap. Attackers will forward your emails to their own accounts using either or both. This makes it very easy for them to retake your account.
- ianterrell 15y agoAnother note is to check your "Reply-to" email. A friend of mine's Gmail account was compromised (say her email was iluvkittens@gmail.com) and they had subtly changed it (perhaps to iluvkitttens@gmail.com). Her oblivious contacts (including me) replied to her "cry for help," but the messages went straight to the hacker's address. This kept her contacts in conversation with the hacker even after she regained control of her account.
