how do you know your email is being hacked?

Do you still have access to it?

Have you changed your password. Are you running any virus protection

Why? IMO any unauthorized access is bad access and a password change is one step in the direction of keeping the unauthorized individual out. Why wait?

You can't hide your IP. Period. At least not and still have a working network connection.

Kinda like saying you won't give anyone your phone number, but wonder why nobody calls.

Change the password, contact the provider, move on and learn from it.

You might want to tell your friend to change his password before the so-called hacker does, and locks him out of the account.
