Help! My Hotmail is being bombarded with thousands of spam email (not exagerating - I've gotten over 5,000 since this morning). Any idea how to stop this? I am using web-based hotmail and am able to log in just fine. I changed my password to be safe already. When I try to send myself a test from another email address it comes back as undeliverable with the following message - any idea what I can do?
