Hotmail Account Hacked
Sorry if anyone here was on my list of contacts but I have had my Hotmail account hacked. All my contacts have been deleted and my account is sending out spam about mobile phones to all my contacts.
I have changed the password and contacted Hotmail but I can’t recieve new emails. -

Martin, that’s bad news.
did you not have a backup of you contacts?
being hacked is one thing, loosing your contact’s could be devastating..

The same happened to my brother. The only way he new was when all his mates phoned him to ask why he was promoting the new iphone.
What do these hackers get out of it?

Last week i got a message from a supplier saying
”the fastest way to become a Dandy is to increase the size of your stallion”
so they must have been hacked as well!
Don’t want to mention their name, but it was a supplier of flat cut letters etc up north. Anyone get the same?
How do they hack Hotmail? Or is it some sort of phishing scam?

Seems to be rife at the moment I got one from my Wife’s Aunties hotmail account with the subject Do you want to increase the size of your penis!

ive yet to have a problem with my hotmail account and ive had it about 12 years or more now…
god i remember how addicted i got to the Internet back then… the old dialup connection was a killer but still… nobody had anything better then. -
I receive loads of viagara spam sent from myself to myself???????
Maybe someone is trying to tell me something! -
best way to prevent spam i know of, is to get a google business account. costs about £50 per year and well worth every penny… i am lucky if i get 1 spam email in a fortnight, often a month or so. when you do, just click "this is spam" and its gone!
Been using Gooogle Business for a few years now… wouldn’t be without it. -
Thing is, you may never know your hacked. They login download your contacts and then logoff lol. Then spoof with them.
How many passwords do you have? If you use the same password everywhere then the chance of hacking is so much more.

I have checked this out on the internet and its quite common.
And Dave I have different passwords for different things on the net.
I have contacted Microsoft and they have now locked the acount and I have sent the relevant info for them to reinstate it.
