Hey Guys,

My hotmail account that I even use for this site has been hacked into yesterday. I have no idea how they have done it, as I have both a secure password and an impossible secret question. I am also behind a firewall at home and have sufficient anti-virus software

Anyone know how to get it back? Or how they did it? Any suggestions welcome. They also got into my online Facebook and trying to break my PayPal by adding different email accounts to it.

Kind Regards & Thanks in advance,
Bill
 
It is impossible to hack hotmail IMHO. So I suggest there is a key logger on your PC which allows the hacker to see everything you have done, so you may be wise to use someone else's PC to change all your passwords. You could try contacting Microsoft and tell them the account has been hacked they may reset the password to your old one for you.

Other things you may want to do are get an uptodate anti virus software, and download Spybot and run it, it may detect any logger software and delete it.
