My account is being hacked . I have changed my password but it is still being hacked. I would prefer to use different log-on as I do with other sites. I have never been hacked before until I updated your latest browser.

Separate Security Issue: Update your Flash Player Note: Windows users should download the ActiveX for Internet Explorer. and the plugin for Plugin-based browsers (like Firefox).

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the ActiveX.

Create a new email account. Once in place, close the old one after informing all you write to of the change.

In the case of websites, open your profile at the site and edit your data.

Note: Do Not use the same password.

You did update Firefox via "Help -> About Firefox" and not via a pop-up on a web page?

If you get a pop-up message asking to update Firefox or plugins or scanning for malware then such a message is likely a scam and you should NEVER respond to such an alert to avoid getting infected with malware.

  • only update Firefox via "Help -> About" or by downloading and installing Firefox from the Mozilla server and never via a pop-up or link on a web page.
  • plugins should only be updated via the plugin itself or by visiting the home page of the plugin.
