Sorry guys but for those of you who know me don't open any emails from my hotmail account. (qazwsxedc746 at hotmail dot com)

Someone seems to have hacked my hotmail account and starting on Thursday strange emails started being sent out to people on my contacts list and to people who have emailed me in the past.

Looks like so far all they did was send out links to other sites but i wouldn't take any chances with it.

Change your password a few times.

Sadly the hacker seems to have already taken care of that.

Luckily its an older account that I don't use much anymore. I just don't want anyone to open something that could cause them problems.

Ok I think i have it back under control now.

Luckily they didn't change the other email I had on file and I was able to get Hotmail to reset my password. Managed to get back in today and rechange the password again.
Hopefully that will keep them out now.

A buddy of mine grabbed the IP address off the emails being sent and tracked it to someone in Turkey.
