Hi chess.com, this is Suvel from chess.com, and unfortunatley, my chess.com account has been hacked. Somehow also, my email got hacked and some other personal accounts. On chess.com this guy resigned all my games, deleted all my friends, and left me from all my groups. My blogs were deleted, and I don't know what to do! :(

I'm going to send a ticket, and try to see what I can do. If you were my friend, or I was playing you in a game, please don't take offense, it wasn't my doing, the deleting friend. My online rating is in the 600's, which really sucks. Anyway, just wanted to let everyone know.

Thanks, 
Suvel

Change your password in your email, chess.com account, and everything else that got hacked. Make sure it's long, because the longer it is, the harder it is to hack.

ok thanks for the advice!

No problem, anything to help a friend. :-)

Also, try to limit your games to a low amount so that if you get hacked, you won't lose too much rating.

A way that I track my tournaments is that whenever I join a tournament, I bookmark it to make sure I don't join too many. I think that would be a great method for you to track them, since I know you have a tendency to get 100-300 games at a time, which is very overwhelming, in my opinion.

If your account here, your email, and other personal accounts were hacked, it sounds like the issue is on your end.
