Apologies for email spam

Post by Fadingtoblack »

Hey all,

Apologies to anyone I have on msn or in email, as somehow last night my hotmail account seemed to be hijacked and sending out spam emails.

I just logged in and everything was in Chinese and I was getting all these delivery failed notices etc!


Luckily with help from a friend I managed to change the language back and change my password, hopefully this solves the issue, but please let me know if there are any further spam emails or messages through msn coming from "me".


Has this happened to anyone else? Horror stories?

I'm so paranoid when it comes to mail passwords that even I don't know my passwords.

I get a lot of IM messages with spam on them but once people change their passwords, the problem goes away.
