Spam it

Apparently my e-mail account thought I needed to send more e-mails.  My first ever e-mail account was a Hotmail account.  I still have it.  It is my main account.  I have had the same password for that account since its creation.  Not anymore.  I know, which is more sad that I have not updated the password or that I use Hotmail?

Saturday, Wendy was on the computer and said she received an e-mail from me with just a link.  It looks like my account had been hacked.  All on my contact list received a spam e-mail containing a link.  Well to be honest, my contact list is so old and out of date I received most of the mail back in mailer daemon form.  When I was able to check my e-mail, I had to get a recovery code because Hotmail locked my account due to excess activity, I had over 200 returned e-mails.

I hate that my account was hacked.  It is annoying.  However, there is a funny side because most of the people were not affected.  It was amusing to see all those returned e-mails.  Well until I had to clean them out.





How out of date is your contact list?  Do you still use your first e-mail account?

Sorry about the large picture.  Just for you to scroll down and see this.

  2. Thanks for letting me know. I would be lost without your technological skills or at least starting a blank screen.
