Movable Type 4.25 tag:ask-leo.com,2009://3.3734-comment:34866 Comment from David Shapiro on 2009-05-19 David Shapiro http://unspecified The exact same thing happened to my Hotmail account a couple of days ago. A phishing email was sent out to my contacts. I immediately checked the Hotmail inbox and saw some returned messages that were sent out to invalid addresses. All of my contacts were erased and the phishing email had become my vacation response.

Everything else looked OK in the account, but I did everything that Leo recommended. I stopped regularly using this Hotmail account many years ago because of the huge volume of spam.
