Spam mail
To everyone getting spam email from my hotmail account....
Don't panic. It happened a few weeks ago and all that happened was some people got fake emails from me advertising electronics products. None of my other passwords, accounts etc were accessed and as far as I'm aware noone encountered any other problems after receiving the email. I dealt with the problem by deleting all my contacts- I've only just got the internet back so I'm still in the process of transferring everything over to my other hotmail account before deleting the whole thing.
However, I accidentally signed into my old msn account the other day, and in doing so hotmail automatically added all the contacts I have as a friend on msn back. I didn't realise this at the time- so again I have deleted everyone from the list. I won't access that msn account again, and will delete the whole hotmail account as soon as possible. You shouldn't get any more fake emails from me, but if you do just ignore them.
The first time it happened I didn't bother announcing it to everyone like this because I thought it was obvious I'd been hacked but a lot of people seemed to be fooled by it. So I'd like to confirm that any emails advertising stuff are NOT from me!
My other email address- which does not get hacked- is gillianhatcher@hotmail.co.uk . The gillian_h77@hotmail.com is extremely old and I've been meaning to get rid ofit for ages.
