Email is the user's personal space. But what if this space was violated by an outsider? In this case, it is difficult to calculate the attacker, but it is possible. To do this, it is worth resorting to the following methods.
It is necessary
- - a computer,
- - Internet connection.
Instructions
Step 1
The first thing to do is ask your loved ones if they accidentally entered your mail. If you did not press the exit button during the last session with the mail service, you are formally left in your mailbox. Another person who sat down at your computer and entered the mail service automatically appears in your mail.
Step 2
If you are interested in information on a mailbox registered on the mail.ru service, the social network of this resource can help you. Going to "My World" pay attention to the menu item "Guests". It reflects the users who visited your personal page on this social network. You may see strangers on this list. Next to the user's avatar, the time at which he visited your page is indicated.
Step 3
It is worth paying attention to the letters in your mailbox. Review the lists carefully. If some of them turned out to be open, but you did not open them, this may give you information about the interests of the person who visited your mail. Often, such a goal is letters containing registration data of payment systems, social networks and any other services.
Step 4
Modern mail services provide users with the opportunity to take advantage of personal security settings. The main "trump card" of this setting is the definition of the IP address from which the last time you entered the mail. If you use mail from mail.ru, go to the "Settings" tab and select "Security". In the "Last login on HTTP" line, you will see the time, date and IP address of the last login. In the mail on the site yandex.ru, the same can be done if you go to the items "Settings", "Security", "Journal of visits". To view the IP in the mail on gmail.com, you should refer to the item "Additional information", which is located in the lower right corner of the "Settings" tab, under the inscription "Recent activities in the account".
Step 5
The IP address found in this way can give information about the country, city and provider of the place from where your mail was visited. This data can be used in a written statement to law enforcement.
