Two different hotmails hacked

Hello,

Two of my family's hotmails are hacked within a short time span and I would like to ask if anyone knows how. My antivirus, etc all show zero results after a deep scan.

First of all I would like to notify I use these:
Avast antivirus (Free) (Constant protection + weekly scan)
Zonealarm for the firewall (deactivate other functions, only the firewall is always active)
Spybot - search and destroy (weekly scan)
Malwarebytes (always active + weekly scan)
CCleaner (ran once a day)
Advanced system care clean (ran daily)
Protected wireless internet (with 15 number/letter password)

I never open strange links people send me by mail or instant messenger, and I only browse 'safe' sites such as youtube. In fact, if I open a site I do not know, I google the site first to see if it is safe to open.

However, 8 months ago I was cleaning up some emails, so I deleted 1 of my old hotmail accounts by deactivating it after I deleted all accounts attached to it.

3 days ago I noticed an email with a suspicious link from that deactivated account, so I logged it in and I found that the account had been blocked due to suspicious activity. Somebody had been active on the account for 4 months now and sending out waves. I wondered how come did this happen, but I blamed it on that email's password being too weak. I didnt care much about the mail, so it only had a 8 letter pass.

I went through the procedure of retrieving the account and changing the password, then once again deleting it.

Today however ANOTHER hotmail account got hacked right after I deactivated the other one. This time my father's hotmail that he uses on a completely different pc. He never logged it on on my pc, neither did I log mine on his pc. I do have all the above antivirus, etc running on his pc out of safety reasons.

My question is: Is it possible that my father who sometimes opens stuff his friends send him somehow installed some malware that can sniff the entire internet connection?

We both share a wireless connection that is broadcast through the entire house. I am clueless how they found my email.

I am unable to find any malware, but I believe there might be some present.

What other programs could I run? Since all mine are showing 0 results after scanning on every pc.

Or is there a group active that is 'brute forcing' emails because of some kind hotmail security leak?

 

I do not know how to add more logs to my previous post, so adding all logs in this one. (Edit button was gone)

These are the logs for my laptop that I use daily while being hacked/hijacked. I will add logs for my father's pc once it is done scanning.

 

Hello Arond,

These logs are clean.
I don't know how your Hotmail account was compromised but it does not seem that this computer was compromised. Perhaps the hacker(s) involved guessed the password.

 

Hello thisisu,

thank you very much for your reply. I am guesing the same that he somehow guesed the password, but I dont understand how he managed it with the hotmail block per 3 failed passes.

Another thing I am wondering is: could somebody perhaps is spoofing my internet connection? Is this possible without a pc being infected? I have looked online and read up a bit about internet worm virusses and spoofing, but very few information is available if somebody can basically sniff through all your packages without infecting you.

Regardless I did my springcleaning for my laptop and went ahead and reinstalled the OS entirely just to be safe.

Any security measures you'd advice that I overlooked previously? I installed AVG this time around instead of Avast.

 

The PC doesn't need to be infected in order for someone to guess your password. Here is a blog post that I read recently that I would recommend to you: How Companies Can Beef Up Password Security

Other suggestions that may not be in the above link: Keep Java, Adobe Reader, and Flash Player up to date if you use these programs.

 

Thank you very much for all your help! Its greatly appreciated.

 

You're welcome.
Be safe
