Windows Live Mail FAQ

Outlook account hacked – receiving msgs from my email addy not sent by me

29. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: Google Chrome browser, Microsoft security essentials, Outlook account, version number
  • Google Chrome browser used (cannot find a version number- help?).   
  • Windows 7 operating system.  Microsoft Security Essentials - most recent updates installed.
  • Use the free version of CCleaner, updated May 24, 2013.
  • My Outlook account was hacked about a month ago.  I have had this account for MANY years - started as a Hotmail account.  I changed my password to a more complex one after the hacking, and it worked after a little effort.   Password was sent to my secondary email account (non-Outlook).
  • I have received 2 emails from my own account: *** Email address is removed for privacy ***.  After the first, I changed password since I figured I'd been hacked.  For about a month things seemed okay.   I received another from my account in the past couple days.  Does this mean they still have access to my account/computer files??  Unfortunately, I reported both as phishing scams to Outlook & the message then disappears from my system.
  • Thank you for any assistance given.
