I subscribed annually to the large mail box. My contacts were hacked and all were sent a link (from my email!)for viagra etc on Saturday. My database was built up with 15years of personal and business contacts. Whilst I was able to send out an apology, the worst part is my 'Sent items' folder was completely deleted! My password is a numeric/letter mix. I dont think Hotmail are doing enough to protect their customers! I’ve had my hotmail account since 1995. I subscribed annually to the large mail box.

Used my hotmail account to send an e-mail to everyone I have ever e-mailed and deleted all my contacts too. Annoying thing is that I have now reached my e-mail limit for a day (300 e-mails) so I cannot e-mail anyone to apologize and warn anyone. I think I will be changing my password again after reading this thread Same happened to me today.
