Ask Slashdot: Identity Theft Attempt In Progress; How To Respond? 239
An anonymous reader writes "It appears that two weeks ago my email address got into the wrong database. Since that time there have been continuing attempts to access my accounts and create new accounts in my name. I have received emails asking me to click the link below to confirm I want to create an account with Twitter, Facebook, Apple Games Center, Facebook mobile account, and numerous pornographic sites. I have not attempted to create accounts on any of these services. I have also received 16 notices from Apple about how to reset my Apple ID. I am guessing these notices are being automatically generated in response to too many failed login attempts. At this point I have no reason to believe any of my accounts have been compromised but I see no good response."
Re:Change your e-mail address (Score:2, Interesting)
First things first:
Is it a gmail address ?
Is there another exact address from a different country ?
It could be as simple as foo.bar@gmail.com being confused with foobar@gmail.au
Happened to me.
