My hotmail hacked into?

pd101 · 2009-09-03 18:55:43

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. I was just checking my emails there this evening when I noticed that emails had been sent from my account to all of my contacts in the middle of the night. The email was advertising a website that sells electronic equipment. How could this have happened and is there a way to stop it…
