Has my email been hacked?

[Vault101]

just a question

I have a hotmail account that I kind of use, latley instead of just getting the usual spam I alo have the "delivery flailure" message alot (means that the email you sent hasnt been sent or somthing)

it seems to have somthing to do with a WOW scam, like my accoutn is sedingout thease scam emails or somthing

is there anything I can/should do?

If you are sure that your computer is infected, try fixing it, if you aren't very knowledgeable about how to do so format it.

Change your Hotmail password, and as many passwords as you can.

And here's the most important thing. You probably use the same password for everything (or 5-6 passwords maybe). Just make a separate one for your mail, and use that password for nothing else.

Good luck.

Change the password, security questions (if Hotmail uses those), everything security-related. And make sure it's your email addresses that are the alternates for that account, and that Chinese sonofabitch didn't make it to where they can reset the password.
