What To Do If Your Hotmail Is Hacked / Comprimised

Your hotmail account now uses a "Windows Live ID" which means that your login details are not just used for hotmail but other services supplied by microsoft .  So if someone manages to hack your account they will have access to more than just your e-mails.

If you think someone has access to your hotmail account you can follow the instructions at http://bit.ly/live240 .  You will also find a link to the windows live id validation form at http://bit.ly/liveid240 which asks a number of questions to help microsoft identify you as the account owner.  These questions include your ISP provider, Your IP address, the last time you sucessfully logged in, names of folders in your account, subject names of e-mails you have previuosly sent.
