MAMEWorld Forums - The Loony Bin - Re: How safe is Hotmail / Windows Live mail?

I don't think Hotmail is any more likely hacked than Yahoo! mail or Gmail.

I've had it happen to me once. The hacker just added spam links to my signature and sent mail to everyone in my address book. I was able to go in and delete the signature with the unwanted links. I then changed the password and have never had another problem.

I also have had someone post on Yahoo! Groups using my email address. It was weird because they used a different nickname than mine. I was able to delete the post but I'm sure it went to everyone in the group. I figured they did not log into my Yahoo! account because there was no sent mail. They somehow spoofed my email and sent a message to the group.

I hope all of these hackers burn in hell!
