Old Freenetname email seems to have been hacked

[#1]

Hi, I have an old Freenetname email account which seems to have been hacked, what can/should I do?

@mikeyc,

Please immediately change your mailbox password details. To do this log into the Madasafish site. Once in click internet services, extras, and email.

Thanks, my issue seems to be similar to one mentioned in an earlier thread where people were receiving emails, asking for cash etc,. from there own account.

 My other issue is the account is so old I am not sure I can remember the password, also although I still receive emails I get an error when I try to send emails (this started to happen many months ago).

Hi @mikeyc,

You can try the forgotten password link which should email you a reset key but this will only send to the contact email address that was originally provided which might not be a viable option. 

If it isn't can you PM me the email address affected and we'll see if we can do anything that way.

Hi, just checked the set up of my old email, the actual email address is [Removed] (but emails can be sent to the motortunes domain address)  Just used this in the MAAF pw reset link and it accepted it and said an email would be sent but I have not received it yet.

Hi there.

From what I can see it looks like you've sorted this now and managed to change your password?

If that's not the case, we'd need to do this over the phone but we'll be happy to call you back whenever you're free?
