account comprimised?

[balaa]

I'm really not at all sure why ANYONE would want to do this, but apparently someone just tried to hijack my livejournal. I received a 'lost password' e-mail today, which on it's own I wouldn't find TOO suspicious since it happened once before(although it did make me wonder then too). But then all of a sudden I was booted out of my primary e-mail address and told that the password was changed on that account (the account which the 'lost password' email was sent to). I have NO clue who would do this or for what reasons. I have never given out these passwords to anyone so I do not know how someone could have even guessed them or for what means.

I am posting this primarily just in case this someone does manage to gain control over my accounts again and starts posting suspicious entries or you receive odd e-mails from me... I'm really worried about this and can't fathom why anyone would try to in any way steal my identity. I haven't even used this account to really post anything private as I decided to just use the journal to share art...

Kinda worried now..

aw man that bites! D: I hope they don't get your account, that would stink ;n; My friend stripeymistress had her account on DA hijacked and she was unable to get it back D: unfortuantely they had to ban it and she had to make a new account. The person seriously screwed all her stuff up though. deleted everything and told her to *gaspexcusemyfrench* "burn in fucking hell bitch". her being a hardcore christian took it extra hard D: and We couldn't figure out why anyone would want to hijack her account either since she's always been so nice and did nothing to deserve it.

But then the real answer reared it's ugly head.
They were holding her account hostage, in an attempt to get free art from her. They agreed to return it if she drew thier OC. That, of course never happened, she never drew this persons OC, and so that persons rude, and uncalled for actions, did not get them the art they apparently so desperately wanted.

Just saying, it might be what they were trying to do to you, I'd watch it carefully and change your passwords everywhere, just to be safe. Because it would really suck if someone took your identity and all you've worked hard for dear :). I give you my best wishes and hope this all clears up soon!
