  • Warning an email/address book hacked from a friend's hotmail

    Today I received a message from a local historian friend, but the content was a request for money !

    Yes it showed his correct email in the message.

    I knew that he would not send such a message, and I phoned to find out what happened. Yes his email, and address book had been hacked, and his computer was now not working.

    He advised that hotmail was trying to resolve the issue, and as yet, I have not heard if he is back on line.

    I am NOT suggesting hotmail is the problem, my enquiries find that other sites can also have or had similar problems.

    I am not sending an alarm here, just keep a lookout, and remember seeing a known mail address in a message, does not guarantee that it came from THAT person.
