some hacker got into my hotmail account and took my password and now I cannot go into it because he has changed it. I reopened another account and wanted to know if you can tell me how to get in contact with them to get my old emails that are there and how do you think they could have done that? I feel my computer is quite secure but now I am a little frightened. Hope someone out thre can help me out and sort of reassure me.
Thank you
LL

Sorry to hear that LL. Here's an article that might explain what happenned.

I'd like to let the members know here on this tread, that LL and I send each other regularly e-mails.
In order to help her, here is something I received from her tonight, which in fact is certainly a spam from the very people responsable for her problems.
