Title: Email Stolen
Post by: Derp on April 02, 2007, 11:42:08 PM: I just got my main hotmail email account (alexolaru_88@hotmail.com) that has my msn and everything stolen last week. I'm so frustrated right now and trying to get it back somehow.

Has this ever happened to anyone? ???

I don't really think that there is too much you can really do. Maybe try contacting the hotmail admins.

Post by: weizen on April 03, 2007, 12:57:11 PM: If you access your hotmail (or anything else) from an unsecured wireless network, it takes a few seconds for someone to sniff your trafic and get your passwords. If they know what to do ;) That, or if you accessed it from a wired network, it could have been sniffed from that (From someone that has access to your network).

Post by: Derp on April 03, 2007, 11:08:59 PM: I went here http://www.hotmail.msn.com/cgi-bin/dasp/ua_info.asp?&_lang=EN&country=CA

and i think i emailed the "abuse@hotmail.com" thats below and stated my case.

the email that I got my response from is weird:

"Microsoft Customer Support" <LV_ID.WNLV.NA.US.EN.SYK.MNL.TS.T01.SPT.00.EM@css.one.microsoft.com>

It worked, and now I'm back in business and have my account back with my msn and all. :)
