Title: Hotmail highjacked
Post by: Martin_1962 on 18 December 2008, 16:51:34
One of our hotmail accounts was highjacked by a POS.

How do they break into an account?

Where do they get the passwords from?

Took me ages to delouse it and change PWs

TB did mention an offer on web space for hosting and said he may post it as a listing in the shop.  Have just checked but nothing there at the moment.

Email would be good.
