Re: Hacked

Yes - if you can still get into it then change your password.

Although it may just be that your being spoofed.

My daughters hotmail account was hijack a month or two back, someone sending out mail in her name. I warned her &
she managed to get into her account and moved all her emails to a new account and shut the old one.
Silly me lookin for her new email address went and opened th spoof mail by mistake, bingo computer knackered, every thing went pear shaped. Sustem restore would'nt work rescue from disk failed had to reformat and start again.

Retlaw.

Re: Hacked

It means that someone may have sent the email to appear to be from your email address even though it was not. Less likely with hotmail given how easy it must be to hack it.
