Okay I put my mums car up for sale yesterday night on ebay and listed my email address if people wanted to arrange a viewing.

This morning I attempt to log on to ebay, and my password has been changed.

I tried paypal and got in. Someone had attempted to send £500 and £370 to someone but these failed. Paypal have realised somethings dodgy and limited the account.

Lastly someone has changed my hotmail password and secret question.

What do I do!! I don't wanna change my paypal password incase its emailed to my hotmail address.

Ebay is setup with my hotmail account also. I have emailed ebay and told them that someones hacked into the account, and to send me a new password to my other hotmail address.

I've emailed Hotmail who seem to be useless!

Nobody else got access in my house (my laptop)

These passwords are not saved on my laptop though.

My laptop has got a virus however. Might be linked but its been there for a while.

well, might be linked as you said. you might have given it enough time to do its job

it's quite weird that all 3 were hacked at the same time and also there is no paypal listed in your listing.

If you have had a known virus on your pc it's your own fault bh.
They could have been logging everything you typed and looked at.

Everything changed now.

Theres no way they can put a virus on my wireless router is there? Going to replace the HD in my laptop as I have no faith in it with the virus on. Can't get rid of it.
