forced sign out hot mail says i am useing two computers or two accounts ,iam not doing this. also i have been accused of sending bulk mail ,not guilty of that am i being hacked?

Asked by Bill Dawson

Binary package hint: firefox

Forced sign out on hot mail claims I must sign back as they think I am useing two computers .I am not ! Also getting failure to deliver notice on Mailer Dameon for bulk mail I did not send. I have a secure wifi which I dont need to enter my code each time now I am frequently get knocked off line and have to enter the code each time. Small things happening with the mail all the time ,improper delivery ,being accused of doing or sending things I am not. In my opinion this is a security breech!!!!!!!!!!!!

From the sound of this, I would suspect that your Hotmail password has been stolen or guessed somehow, and your account is being used by spammers. Recommend you immediately change your password, and perhaps contact Hotmail support.

Wouldn't be the first time hotmail_pw_was_hacked, one can even find howtos out there.

Consider to choose a strong pw next time and gpg.

I suspected that I had been hacked but why me I am nobody. Not even interesting!!!!! I cant remeber the secret stuff like favorite teacher that I entered when I signed on to Hot Mail ,so am I screwed and stuck with being hacked. It would be very bad to start over now .Thanks for the quick answer .
