Does anyone have any advice, please? I have two Hotmail accounts and I can sign into my other one OK. I just got the same thing! I was looking around for info, and found your post. I reset my password to a new one after 10 years with the old one — sniff! I'm thinking our accounts got hacked through a hotmail security vulnerability. If you have any accounts that share the same password as hotmail, I suggest you change them too to a password not shared with hotmail, so you can avoid this crap next time.

Peeved — same thing happened to me this morning. I tried to log into my hotmail account and got a page asking me to "provide account information" saying "Before you can sign in to Windows Live, you need to create a new password.

I've never encountered anything like this with my hotmail account. Anybody know what's up? I wasn't sure whether the request to reset my password was the scam! I still l haven't done it yet. I want to be sure that if I reset it, I'm giving the information to Hotmail and not the scammers.

How on earth are you supposed to know whether this is a genuine message from Hotmail when there isn't even an explanation? I've had scam emails from Paypal and from banks before, but luckily I guessed they were dodgy.

In the past few weeks I've received spam from 4 different people with hotmail accounts, 2 from US, 2 from UK, their passwords were stolen but had not been changed. All hotmail users should be advised to change their passwords. I couldn't log into my hotmail account and after resetting the password and finally getting in I discovered all my info was changed. My name was changed and it was something I couldn't even pronounce.

My location was changed to a South Africa and birthday was changed too. When I went to alternate email that was also changed and I had to add another alternate to delete the unknown one.

This is crazy and it upsets me to know somebody had acres to my email which includes personal documents. I just might go back to pen paper and stamps. Beware, my mom's Hotmail account was hacked and the hackers sent e-mails to every bank she does business with stating that she needed money transfered because she wanted to buy a house in Singapore.

We live in Canada and have never done any business or bought any property in singapore. We were on vacation at the time. One of the banks called for verification only once and someone told them she as not home. They left no message to call them or anything. The idiot at the bank sent money an additional 2 times and sent the hackers info about how much money was in my mom's account!!!!!!

I feel like hotmail is the least secure of all the big mail services. I will make sure she never uses that account except for junk EVER again!! Hacked and blocked and no help from anyone. Credit card abused to the limit and no l help given. Don't even wont to use my computer for anything. I may go back to the written hand — safer!

These hackers are scumbags with no quilt! Shame on you — shame!!! My wife's account was hacked the day after I bought her an iPhone for Mother's Day. She's had the account and same password since and this has never happened before.

This prevented her from accessing anything on her iPhone. We were eventually able to get a code and reset the password. We changed the password to something complex and continued to use the account. A couple days ago more spam was sent—hacked again. This time, we got the code and reset the password to something even more complex, but immediately after resetting the password, it took us back to the "your account is blocked" page.

NOW what do we do? Just got hacked today. Happened to my hubby today. We called the Hotmail tech number and they said they have to charge him to fix it…. Is this a scam too? He has to get into his mail for biz Today!
