Someone had logged onto my brother's mesenger this morning and posted a link to a phishing website. I knew it was him as I text himm to say that the link 'he' sent me was dodgy, and he said it wasn't him. I logged on via computer, then the mobile symbol disappeared. He checked is computer for spyware/trojans etc, but found nothing. He does have good security as he is computer savvy. He has not used another computer or tells his password to other. Would someone have guessed a secure password? He has since changed the password and has no problems. Anyone have any ideas how the password was access by someone else?

well he must not be that savy! he must have logged into a fake login page and was lucky the person really didnt have the need to change his password

sometimes when you check messenger or msn hotmail or yahoo mail, whichever computer you use will save the last used logon details all it will take is for someone to click log on. Whenever he or anyone else does this they must ensure that they log out completely. because he changed the password, it will no longer work. Perhaps he has a keylogger on his computer, which detects the keypresses made and 'logs' them onto the hackers computer. Of course if he was daft enough to have it on his phone or has has written it down, then that is aother way it could have happened
