Ola guys

Some miscreant idiot with a very low moral hijacked my Emailaccount and send out Fishing Emails. I wanted to let everyone know that it was NOT me who send the mails and that I have nothing to do with it but sadly because of the idiot's actions I ran through my limit of mails I could send for the day. So instead I do it here.
If you have received a weird email titled "Re:" don't open it. Don't click on the link inside and toss it away.

I changed my password and all should be good now.

My apologies for any inconvinience

With friendly greetz

Best to run anti-virus and anti-spyware programs to ensure that whatever expliot the spammer used to get into your system is totally gone.

Ouch, That hurtz. They did it to me one night. Hijacked both my MSN and GMail accounts. Gmail had me back up and running with an incident report in about 4 hours. MSN took more like 4 months.

@ Jessica
Done that immediately. Nothing on my system Seems they only attacked me on my Hotmail. It was the second time I had this problem First time it took me quite a while to find it out. In both cases they only found out my password but didn't change anything. Bad thing is that I now have to change every password I use for any site I use. Which is annoying.

@ Mark
It is annoying. And seeing the amount of similar stuff I get from others in my mailbox, it happens a lot. You normally don't wish people bad things but for these idiots I gladly would make an exception.
