Yes, but this has happened twice already. The first time it happened was in February, have they been "hacking" accounts since then? Also, when i contact Optifine, and Mojang they won't answer? Seems suspicious.. When I try changing the password it will go through but when I log in it doesn't work. It's like someone changed the email?

optifine doesnt compromise accounts. you either had a keylogger, a rat, or shared your password. next time, dont tell anyone your password, and download things from official and validated sites.

Correlation does not equal causation. Also, anecdotes are not evidence.
I have been wearing sneakers every time I have been nearly run over at a crosswalk. Every time! I also noticed that the sneaker manufacturer didn't respond to my email when I accused them of trying to have me run over. Seems suspicious. Has this happened to other people?
Do you see the problem with this logical fallacy? In your particular case, it is making you ignore the much more likely cause, which is a keylogger or untrusted program/website that you have been using your Minecraft account information on. Alternatively, you told someone one of your passwords, or recorded it somewhere that is not secure.
I would suggest uninstalling all browser apps/plugins/extensions, and performing a deep/full virus scan, and changing all of your passwords for absolutely everything. It is possible you have had many other accounts compromised, but only had the Minecraft ones accessed. Until (if) you know how your Minecraft accounts were compromised, assume everything could be compromised.

I see no proof that it was indeed optifine that compromised your account. Do you have any sources or definitive proof that it indeed was Optifine?
Unless you downloaded optifine from an unofficial source that was compromised I think you're barking up the wrong tree.
There are many other ways however that your account could be hacked, the most common way is bruteforcing, but there are other ways. I found this recent article on PC World interesting for example: http://www.pcworld.com/article/3097513/security/ourmine-is-now-breaking-into-minecraft-accounts.html

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
Stupid 3D..
oh
Optifine never answers.
Why am I here
Is your email password the same as your minecraft password? Someone might have got access to it that way
