My Skype Account got hijacked - What to do now?

So my Skype Account got hijacked today, but I got it back after 10 minutes. The hijackers messaged me with the new password and after I logged in, I changed my password at first. I want them to get punished. They sent messages to everyone with texts like "I am stupid." etc.. I got many messages about it and not everyone in my contactlist believes that the account got hijacked.
So what should I do now? I would like to get them punished.

report them to [email protected]

  • My Skype account was hijacked.

    My Skype account was hijacked a couple of weeks ago.  I lost the Skype credit I had loaded into my account, and the hijacker charged over $100 to my credit card through the Skype auto-recharge option.  I have contacted Skype customer support about this issue, but I suspect that the replies I have gotten might also be fraudulent.  I have lost almost $200 in this incident, and the security of my Skype account and possibly my credit card account have been compromised.  How can I contact a legitimate support person at Skype to get this issue resolved?

    Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service, try again using a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented. Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also impede reaching an agent.

  • Skype Account possibly hijacked

    I was making a Skype call yesterday and got bumped off while it was ringing. When I tried to log in again. I got an error message saying that my username and password were not recognized. When I tried to reset my password, the system had no record of my e-mail addresses - any of them.
    Today, I created a new account and then looked for my original username using "Add Contact". It showed up with someone else's name attached to it.
    What should I do?

  • My apple account got locked what do I do

    My iPhones apple account got locked because I forgot my questions what do I do to get it unlocked

    Locked? Does it say it has been disabled?
    You can log into appleid.apple.com and it might unlock it. If it doesnt, then it might be for security reasons and you need to contact Apple Support to get it unlocked by calling 1-800-MYAPPLE.

  • Skype account got hacked and i see unknown activit...

    This morning I saw skype charge on credit card and I see unknown activity. somebody is calling using my account. I changed the password and still see the calling. I tried searching for the customer support phone number but was unable to do so. I even chatted with the customer representative but to no avail. I trusted your service and now I am stranded with some hacker using my account. There is no quick customer support and which is very frustrating.

    My Account also got hacked and I too was charged $20. I too had seen some 200+ SMS sent to phone numbers in China. I think Skype servers are hacked and they are not informing users about it. 
    Can someone from Skype respond ?

  • Help with skype account after being hacked

    Hey,
    My skype account got hacked - someone got my password, changed it, and messaged all of my contacts asking for money. I recovered my password, got my account back, and have messaged all my contacts to tell them not to send any money.
    However, they also managed to message a load of my Grandmother's contacts through my account, although I'm not sure how they did this, and I'm not sure how to check to see if they've messaged any others (I only know about my Grandmother's contacts because she told me).
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    Hi, Olyaz, and welcome to the Community,
    Neither have I concluded how the perpetrator could have accessed your grandmother's contacts by using your account.  Instead, I suspect that your grandmother's account was also compromised (hacked). 
    Ensure your account passwords are robust (good information is in the articles referenced in my signature block, below).  I would also run an anti-virus/malware/spyware scan on your and your grandmother's computers, using the most recent virus signature files available.  For avoidance of doubt, ensure all updates and patches are also installed, and that things such as Adobe and Java are updated.
    Regards,
    Elaine

  • Skype account hacked. Skype agent very helpful

    So my skype account got hacked today.  I made a call to a landline number in Taiwan for about 40 minutes, but while I was calling, I got 5 notices about account automatic recharge (I did set my account up so the account gets recharged when credit is low).  I then checked my account history, there was a bunch of mobile calls to a Taiwanese cell number that started today. Each call lasted 30 mins (costing ~2.5 euroes each call).  These 5 charges also showed up as pending on my bank account.  
    I used Skype live chat, and the agent Angela A. was really helpful and cancelled the 5 credit charges (worth over $60) to my bank account even though these recharged credits had been used (by the hacker).  I want to thank her here again for her help.  I realize a lot of threads out there seem to tell a different story, that Skype isnt very helpful on refunding charges made on hacked accounts.  Maybe my case is different, since the charges are actually still pending and not made yet.  But just want to point out that there are good people in Skype who are willing to help out.

  • Deleting old skype accounts

    Hi I have a huge dilemma. My dad has had me create various skype accounts for him over time and now he wants to delete all but the one he remembers the password to. He wants me to figure out how to do this for him but when I go on the solutions forum it mentions logging into the account with your known password and deleting the account from the inside which defeats the whole purpose here. How do we just delete the account from the outside- like right click delete or someone we can email? He just needs one account. Please help!!! 

    Hi, ConfusedUser123, and welcome to the Community,
    Your dad could (or you could, if he provides his password to you) sign in to the Skype website and request all of the other accounts be removed.  Please see this thread (topic) for all of the how-to's:  http://community.skype.com/t5/Security-Privacy-Trust-and/How-Do-I-Delete-My-Skype-Account/td-p/31461...
    Skype does not provide a single-click "delete my account" facility as you describe; the accountholder must file the request with Skype Customer Service.
    Skype does not use a central or general e-mailbox; instead, we use the web-form as also explained here: 'Can I delete my Skype account?'
