Edgy and a few other people will know aout this. There is a hacker going around on MSN Messenger and is stealing account usernames. Today he stole mine. He uses your name to log in, he finds out as much infomation he can (eg. name in the profile). There are 2 hackers, one known as Bob (Who I think was the one who hacked into edgys account), and Frank Miller. Frank Miller was the one who hacked mine. He has also hacked into Edgys account. But they might be the same people, I don't know. I spoke to him yesterday, and today I cant login to my account because my password has been changed and I can't reset it. Dont add any of these names to your friend list, as he can tell when you have added him. After he has hacked into your account, he hacks into everyone else on your friend list. Be careful what you put into your profile, because he is writing it all down. When I spoke to him he said that he tries to find stuff like name, where you live etc. There isn't nothing you can do, but I thought it was still important you knew about this.

Did the people who got the accounts hacked get a email before it happened. I know there are certain things that you can send to a person and it will send the password e.t.c to the sender. Also people make up things and say that they can get a a users password of your choice. i.e. you might want a friends to play a trick on him e.t.c. They will as kyou for your password or something. Iam not to sure, but there are things and people who go around doing this.

I did the email reset page, where you Answer the question and you can set a new password. Is that what you mean?

Its very easy to get your hotmail account back, all you need to do is set up a new account and send a retrieval email to a hotmail address and it will respond with the password et al.
