His user name won't have changed, so he may be able to get around it by choosing to reset his password at login, depending on what the hacker has changed.

How do you know the account has been hacked if you can't get logged in and what is happening when you try to ?

That still doesn't mean he has been hacked as it could be a spammer is sending ouyt emails to make it look like they are being sent by him as this is something to do.

 

As I asked before what happens when he tries to access this link:

 

https://skyid.sky.com/signin/email/

It does sound like his account has been compromised.

Is he still able to log in here: https://www.sky.com/myaccount/my-details, if so he can set a new security question and answer.
