Solve : Hotmail Compromised??

1.	Solve : Hotmail Compromised??
Answer» Win XP Home SP.3 AVG ZoneAlarm all updated. One of my Hotmail accounts has been compromised on 17/18.9.2011 and an e-mail sent to all my contacts, 253 of them. My pc was not connected to the Internet (dial-up) or even powered up at the times at which at least some of the e-mails were sent. Is there anything I can do to RECOVER. Hacking of Hotmail seems to be a regular occurrence and changing the account login password is the recommended "cure" ENSURING the new password contains alpha and NUMERIC chars plus at least one special character. Phew!!!Quote from: T.C. on September 20, 2011, 01:57:33 PM Hacking of Hotmail seems to be a regular occurrence It hasn't been for me...That's good news but SEE this lot. Yep mine was hit aswell this week and changing password seems to have worked, but you do need to then warn your contacts not to click on the links within any spoof mail. It will show up in sent mail who got mail.
