1377364 2014-06-17 23:00:00 Looks like xtra-yahoo arnt the only email provider with serious security issues

My very old hotmail a/c was hacked & used to send out spam.
This is an a/c I havnt used for many many years, with a password that couldnt be guessed via a dictionary
attack.
I logged in there today to have a look, the only thing in there was the spam email (with multiple cc's) in the sent items

I changed the password & then closed that hotmail a/c.
Yet to have a single issue with my gmail a/c (apart from alot of spam)

1377365 2014-06-18 00:06:00 Yeah my Hotmail got done end of last year I think... I don't use it for anything really anymore but log in every now and again for a clean out. Password consisted of 2 words and a 2 digit number which had nothing to do with me really but meh... if someone wants in they'll find a way. I got a lot of abuse from an exSWMBO actually for sending her spam... =\ lordnoddy (3645)
