Hotmail hackers
« on: October 19, 2009, 05:59:09 pm »
Hi folks, just a short message th those of us who are currently using Hotmail.  There are some scumbags who have hacked into this system, and are causing much trouble.  In the last 3 days, I have had my password changed twice, my Ebay account taken over and products listed, and paypal frozen.  Luckily I had use of the email for a short time, and found out I had 64 enquiries about a Mobile phone listed on ebay at 2/3 retail price.  8 people had purchased phones, and wanted to know when it would arrive.  My ebay account has been frozen for fraudulently listing, ebay has taken it's comission, and I have refunds to make from my paypal account which I had frozen before whoever it was managed to penetrate that as well - but for how long?
Whatever you do, delete all old received & sent mail from your folders, as that's where they got the information.
I am still not in the clear, and have had to reset my hard drive in case something nasty has been introduced as well.
Be warned.
Mike
