Problem :S

Ok my gmail account was hacked and i got it back by filling in the form but now the hacker just does the same to regain access to my account.

How can i stop this.

This is the form i filled out to get my account back:

Google

And the hacker just does the same thing and gmail lets me take access again.

Is it possible to stop this from happening?

Have you tried simply changing your password? There is something going on if the same hacker can get access to your account time after time.

The 'hacker' is an old friend of mine, he hacked my account to get access to a gaming account i own.

when i asked how he got access to my account he told me that he just filled out that form.

[dualsub2006]

That's no friend. He is invading your privacy knowingly and willingly. He has to know your secret question or something other than just the address. Change your password, change your secondary email and change your secret question.

I have changed all my information, Gmail just lets him have access to my account when he fills in that form.

I think becuase his ip has been used on my gmail account so they think he owns it and the same for me.

But i want to know if there is a way to stop this from happening.

There has to be more to it than you are telling here. Google doesn't just hand out account access for giggles. I had one helluva time getting access back to an account that I had forgotten the password to. Google nearly made me send them scans of my fingerprints before they helped me out. This guy has something that you are telling us.

The only way to stop this is to set up a new account, move your old mail to the new account and then delete the account that is being hacked.

You could also call the police.

The gmail account is attacted to my gaming account, if i delete my gmail account then my gaming account is gone, i won't be able to change the password of it.

Atm its not save.

I will change the secondary email, secert answer and the password and then see if he takes it back, i know he will.

BTW he changed it from english to some random thing does anyone know how i can change it back to english?

[dualsub2006]

Well, you seem to be asking for it so I will bow out of this conversation now. You change the language in the general tab of settings.

If your gaming account is like most online accounts, then there is a mechanism via which you can change the email address with which it is associated.

Therefore, I would suggest that you go through the utter pain of fetching a non-google account for awhile, JUST for the purpose of use for targets for online accounts. Fetch a free Yahoo! email address, or a free MSN live email address. There are lots of others. Find one.

Plan ahead. When you get it, within five minutes, go switch all your account targets to the new freebie, and delete the gmail account, forever and ever, world without end. Stay off gmail for awhile.

Then, after awhile, come home to your ol' pal google, but maybe, consider leaving the other freebie as your target for online accounts. I know I have four freebies, and it gives me a real sense of privacy and protection to be able to direct unknown parties to an email address on which I have stored very little, if any, personal information. My gmail account I reveal only to *trusted* personal friends.
