Stolen Password

[Guest]

hi everyone
someone stole my password and changed it along with the secret question and
answer. the problem is that i have no way of getting it back since i've
contacted the server and they keep replying with no help. my old email is
([email protected]). and i need asap. thanks a lot for the help. if
more information is needed, i'll be happy to give it. and i suggest you put
a new way of resetting passwords, because if someone hacks it, they can
simply change everything.

this group is about administering security on windows xp desktops, not
hotmail. the hotmail support people are the only ones who can help you,
none of these news groups will do anything for you.

Noone can steal a password. You do correctly identify that your personal
details may have been changed by another person.

So why break our into a sweat about it? The security of that email address
and anything else that was associated with it is compromised. BURN IT.

Log onto Hotmail and create a new username and everything else. Try making
a longer passwrod with numeric and alpha characters that do not have you name
or initials. Also don't write it down on a piece of paper next to your PC
for everyone to copy down and abuse.

Don't be surprised, it is amazing how many people leave this information
right next to their PCs in the open for other people to copy.
