My hotmail account was hackedPage 1 of 1    
Im wondering if i change my email address for POF if you will send an email confirmation to my hacked account ( the one im using for here at the moment)? cause the account seems to be used by someone else as my password was modify without my authorization and i dont want that person to know my new email address and any changes i made from accounts.

Change your hotmail password to something new...not back to your former password. Or...open a new email account in hotmail, live, ymail, gmail or whatever. Then change your POF email to that new one. Don't use personal information in either your email address or your password. For added security.....us a (SHIFT + NUMBER) combination as part of your password. It doesn't stand out in code as easily.

When you are done...POF will send the information of your change to the new...clean email address.

go get a FRESH email account at yahoo or somewhere. Use a NEW password and NOT the same as your POF password.

Login to POF. Change your password here (NOT TO YOUR NEW YAHOO EMAIL PASSWORD!) and also change your email account.

Exit your browser and log back in here.

No email is sent to your old email account.

Make sure to use strong password to make it harder for someone to hack your email account. Usually people use same passwords in many sites.
