Is there a way to know who`s trying to hack my hotmail account password?
Because I`ve been getting unsolicited password reset requests for my account. Also last time I tried to sing in, I found out that my account had been blocked because a wrong password was entered to many times. And it wasn`t me. And finally, I`ve been getting e-cards from an unknown source and I read from another blog, that it`s a way to hack you password if you try to see the card. I think someone`s doing it manually.

I know of no way to find out who.

This morning I tried to log in to me hotmail account and I get a Windows Live screen telling me I should change my password. It wants me to supply the old one and then select a new one. It looks as if I will have to do this to get to my emails. What alarms me is that I have been using the same password for about ten years and never been asked to change it before. OK... it is porbably a good idea to change but... being made to change it in this compulsary manner is alarming. Is it genuinely Hotmail asking me to do this or is this some sort of imitator or phising outfit? URL, graphics and english all look perfect... Anyone else having this experience? Be very grateful for advice Leo. (Have read article!)

i just made a new hotmail account and not even a week after that, i got many reset password emails that i obviously never asked for,, is that means someone is trying to hack my account?

Probably.
