Try the "forgot your password" thingy.

Whoever hacked into my account changed my security question.

Yes, it's either "Mother's maiden name" or "First pet's name".

Tomato,

Your life is full of drama. Last week, you left eggs and such in the car while you were at work. This week, your Gmail account gets hacked. What's next week going to be like?

Heh. You have a good memory. Maybe next week I'll spill Kool-Aid on a white sweater.

This is beyond dumb. But if it makes you feel any better, I'm having issues logging into my account.

Stupid, I know. There was so much storage there I kept a lot of personal documents there.

I can send you a 1GB hard drive.

I kept the personal info there so I could access them easily from anywhere.

i.e. My fiance's social security number.

If I was your S.O. right now, I'd be infuriated.

Yup. Also received the following error:

Server Error

Gmail is temporarily unavailable. Cross your fingers and try again in a few minutes. We're sorry for the inconvenience.

You left unencrypted personal information, including a SSN and passwords (I'm guessing to other accounts online), on a website with possible questionable privacy concerns. Did you think it was pure genius?

So how stupid was your password? Since it's gone, post it.

You don't need a social security number for utility bills. You send them a check, stop by with a couple of bucks, or send them money through your bank.

Not genius, but it was convenient. The password was...

You kept sensitive personal data in an email account accessable from anywhere. That's mildly dumb. What really takes the cake is, this account that you kept this sensitive and personal data in is still in testing. Sorry, I agree with the self-appointed emperor....this is beyond dumb.

You don't need a social security number for utility bills. You send them a check, stop by with a couple of bucks, or send them money through your bank.

You do if you need to question any concerns on your bill, etc. Other accounts require at least the last four digits to access more info when calling.

ill agree leaveing personal info like that online is pretty stupid, i wont grill you for it tho, everyone makes mistakes, hopefully nothing bad comes of this and you get it worked out

In the land of the stupid convenience always wins over security. Die already instead of possibly polluting the gene pool.

Dude, everyone makes mistakes. It was dumb, and I won't do it again. Now I just need to get it back somehow... this doesn't change the fact some sensitive documents/info has been/may have been compromised.

"You're dumb, what a dumb thing to do" may be true in this case, but it doesn't help the situation at all.

Thanks to those offering actual help/suggestions.

Give them yours or work for a couple of days to memorize NINE numbers.
