I would like to know what your definition of Hacked is?
Do you mean the you are getting a lot of spam email?
Or
That someone has taken over your account on (youtube, ebay, paypal) and are using it?
If your are getting a lot of spam, then you need to check your spam settings on your email provider. Most have a way to block domains.
I have seen an increase of spam to the email address I used for ebay, since someone got their email list, but I just put the domain on my block
list.
One problem I see is the trend for sites to your email address as your user Id, which leaves only your password as your defense for your account to be
hacked. Most people don't know that they can have multiple email addresses. What I do is have an email account that allows aliases that way I can
create a new email address for a specific site, and will know if they sold it if I get any spam to that email address.
Hope this info helps.
