If I recall, some of your haters (Mark Lawrence, Antoon Pardon and Chris 
Warrick, if I remember correctly) were making lots of noise about 
reporting you to the Greek police and having you shut down for 
incompetence, as if incompetence was a criminal matter. And now it 
appears that somebody now *actually has* broken the law to try to shut 
you down. This follows death threats made against you. Under post 9/11 
laws, death threats almost certainly would be classified as "terrorism".

I recommend that you report this to your hosting provider, your local 
police, and Interpol. If your Gmail account was hacked, you should also 
report it to Google. Your local police are probably too busy to care, but 
stick to it. At the very least make sure they take your complaint. Get it 
on file.

Be careful not to destroy evidence. Don't go deleting log files, htaccess 
files or anything else that can be used to identifier the criminal.

Interpol have a division specialising in international computer crime and 
if you stick to it with your usual bull-headedness I'm sure you can 
convince them to investigate. Your ISP can probably tell you the IP 
address of who logged into your account. If your Gmail account was 
accessed, Google can do the same.

Nikos, I would treat this seriously. Who knows what this criminal will do 
next? Those hating you have talked about getting you arrested, or having 
you killed. Now somebody has escalated into breaking into your email 
account. They've already proven that they want to destroy your business 
and your livelihood. What will they do next? Try to frame you for child 
molestation by planting illegal material?

Nikos, if I were you I would not stop until you have tracked down this 
criminal hacker and had him arrested, if it takes you a year. Put all 
your energy and famous bull-headedness into this, and I'm sure you will 
be successful.

I am totally serious here. You have a strong case -- a group of people 
who have publicly harassed you, publicly tried to shut down your 
business, made death threats against you, and now somebody has hacked 
into your account and tried to scare off your customers.

And then, in the name of all that's holy, get yourself some professional 
help to secure your website.
