maybe they know your hotmail(if you use hotmail) password, and they click the "iforgot my password" button, so change both password accounts

Are you SURE it's a hack? I only ask because there's been an impostor account posing as M-Bot sending review deletion notifications to various users. See this thread for more details.

If that's not it, then the only thing to do is change your password, and alert an admin, although there's probably not a lot that they could do.

Make sure you have "Save Passwords" disabled in whatever browser you are using. Then do a virus check up on your computer.

If you have a Trojan virus, you could be getting whatever information you enter into your computer jacked.

Goodluck.

You may have a keylogger that another Nger sent you. So that person can see what you type, hence they can see your password. I suggest doing a virus scan. And make a password with numbers as well.

you may have a Keylogger attached to you computer

A keylogger allows someone to see absolutely everything you type it is sent to this person

this is what you may have and what you should do

First Virus scan (not a spyware scanner and it has to been a Good one), after that change your passwords

if you still get this you will have to dump your computer and restart windows, if you cant do this you should never log into an account under that computer again, use a different one

and what can the mods do?

one solution is to clear all your files after every session (on Mozilla- options---> privacy ---> private data), that way, it'll be harder for others to do it...
