Okay... do you have database access or modification install access? If not the former, then he cannot be looking through the database for them. If he cannot install mods either... then he cannot be using the two mods which would do the trick (Read PMs and Admin Log in as User). So I need to know what power he actually has over the site.

Secondly, if he has no power to change anything on the server level, he might have just changed a member's password and 'hacked' the account.
