Hotmail Account Compromised?

I would like to know if there are others out there having the same problem at the moment and whether there is a link to a web page I joined called me2everyone.com.





Maybe it is a coincidence, but would be interested in seeing if others are having the same issues.





I joined this web page and sent an invite to most of my friends, the next day I had 24 postmaster @delivery.....failure to send emails in my in box, a lot of them were to addresses that were not even in my contacts list.


When my friends checked there emails, they had the original invitation letter from me2everyone and then there was another email with "a good webiste" which directed them to an electronics-brand.com website.


When I next went to send an email from my hotmail account, my entire address book had disappeared.


Luckily by retrieving some of the postmaster failed emails I was able to copy and paste most of my contacts details into a word document for retrieving later.


I have changed my password and secret question and this seems to have worked thus far, but I would really like to find out where the source of this came from.


We have run a complete virus scan and nothing showed up, also checked a couple of forums and found others who had similar problems and ran malaware with no results.





After I did my scan I had no history from the previous week, so if you are having the same problems, save your history and your hotmail contact list then change your password and secret question, but maybe we can get to the source of this.





Cheers

Hotmail Account Compromised?
I bet that you were using the SAME password for everything that you access on the web.





You can't do that.





Once you are tricked into entering a password, the criminals that trick you "know" that they probably have the password for all your accounts.





It's called "phishing" and it preys upon the great number or computer-ignorant children (the under 18s) that should not be allowed Internet Access in the first place. They are just too naive, too trusting and too inexperianced to be trusted on the public Internet.





Hell, we dont allow children to drive until they are 16...so why do we allow them on the Internet when they can cause much more economic damage than simply driving a car?
Reply:On Hot mail a lot of problems me too is facing. Either it does not opens or mail is not selected for next step. To change password is one of the great problem. I am also changing my hotmail account.
Reply:Sadly my friend had this. Change your password NOW





(Oops edit, i read what you said. Yea this is a scam site, NEVER put your password into a site other then hotmail.com
