Has your e-mail, Facebook or other account ever been hacked? What did you do about it? How long was it before you noticed?
Have you ever been ''hacked''?

My email was. Someone sent out spam emails to everyone on my contact list. I'm assuming it contained a virus. I just reset my password and haven't had an issue since. I noticed it right away because I check my email like 5 times a day.

My email has been hacked into when I used to use yahoo, luckily with gmail it is nearly impossible unless you do something like install something you shouldn't. My boyfriend was trying to show me how easy it is to hack into bank accounts so I watched him hack into my bank account, and it's pretty scary stuff! Lol glad he uses his "powers for good" because he taught me how to keep people out of my private stuff and what to or not to post, I also discovered you shouldn't keep nude photos even in private albums on most social networking websites, because there is a site called VF that was hacked into where someone got a list of ALL user names and ALL passwords for EVERYONE who uses the boards and chats, and had access to all their stuff! SCARRYYYY!
By the way it's impossible to actually HACK into facebook.

A few of my email accounts were hacked, actually. They sent spam emails to hundreds of people. It was really aggravating. I just reset my password and didn't have another problem. One of them had actually gone in and changed my setting so that I couldn't get back in or do much of anything about it, though. It was thankfully not an address I used much, but it's still irritating.

I've been fortunate so far, and try to be careful about my passwords.

I've had a couple of my email accounts hacked, but I noticed it quite quickly, and just changed my password.

To my knowledge I haven't been. I'm normally the person letting people know that their email account is sending spam emails.
