Hi,
I'm not sure how this happened, but I think my hotmail account has been compromised. When checking my email this morning, I received several "Deliver Status Notification (Failure)" emails. When I checked to see what they were, I noticed they were emails I never sent. I checked my sent folder, and found an email in there that I did not send. In fact, my computer was not even on at the time the email was sent.
I don't understand how this could have happened. While I am not a computer expert, I know enough not to open emails from people I don't know, or click on suspect links. I also noticed that my "Vacation" message was turned on, and this email was in the message body.
Please let me know what I should do. I use Outlook Express from home, and log on through Internet Explorer from work. I delted my entire contact list, so another message is not sent, and just changed my password. I'm concerned this will happen again. Below is the email that was sent out:
New shopping new life!
How are u doing these days?Yesterday I found a web of a large trading company from china,which is an agent of all the well-known digital product factories,and facing to both wholesalers,retailsalers,and personal customer all over the world. They export all kinds of digital products and offer most competitive and reasonable price and high quality goods for our clients,so i think we you make a big profit if we do business with them.And they promise they will provide the best after-sales-service.In my opinion we can make a trial order to test that.
Look forward to your early reply!
