Email ID Hacked By Ex Colleague

Hi all,
There is a strange situation where my Email account has been hacked and a mail has been shooting emails to all known unknown ID's which has an attachment of my pic.
I had doubt on one ex colleague which he confirmed after listening to that I am Complaining to Police.Though I did it anyways.
The crux of the story is he hacked my account , shooted a mail to all and now given my ID & Password back. So,in order to teach him a lesson what appropriate action should I take ?
I don want him to go just like that.
Regards,
Pavadia

you have already called the police , so are they not taking any action ?
make sure you have all the evidences in place to prove charges on him.
most important
make a new password for the hacked account, think camly what important information can be leaked by this act of him.
and remember
What goes around , comes back......enjoy the day ahead.

hi pavadia,
change the password in the first place. check the IP number from where he hacked your account. if you are able to track this and connect the ex colleague from this IP number, then you have a strong case. Sue him for mental harassment (check with a lawyer, this is a criminal offence) and put him behind bars. this is not the way for a person to abuse his ex colleague.
from your post, it seems you are a female (apologise if I hurt you). it's high time such persons are restrained and punished.

Dear all,
Thanks alot for all your contributions and time.
But as I am working six days a week so don have enough time for police and lawyers moreover Lawyers charges you so high and Police has not responded till date might be for them its a small case. Its already a week of my complaint.
What else can be done to give him emotional attyachar?
Ofcourse Ramesh I am not hurt as you never said anything wrong .. Thanks once again. :-)

hi pavadia,
this is a criminal offence, not like civil cases. we don't the damages or repercussions or the ill effects this person may have done. the company may also take this into consideration that you are careless / laidback in securing your data (password and stuff) and if you are growing the ladder, a smart competitor may use this against you. the earlier the problem is sorted out the better.
however, if you are quite sure that this guy has done it, have a one-to-one chat (preferably record), asking why he / she has done it.
this is a cyber crime case and if you can nail this person with your company help then this should be done at the earliest

Hi Pavadia,
This is cyber crime and need leagl action.Of course any legal action will cost you.Knowing all these things only, these guys do such acts.An oridinary citizen has to face all such things.Learn from these experience and do not share any of your personal IDs.Of course in IT developed environment, it is very difficult to control.Even higher ups are facing these type of problems.
