dark seraph

to anyone that i E-mail via my Hotmail acount, guess what?
it got hacked... Again!
so untill i get it fixed, if a you get a E-mail that dosn't have something like "Dark seraph" in the title, it's haxed Spam from some Canadian Viagra company.


Might've been the same original hack. You sure you don't have a keylogger or something on your PC?

well, it's a secondry hotmail acount i used aftre the last one got hacked.
right now running a viruse scan, then making a new password.
Edit: Malware didn't find anything, so changed Password..... and looking at other E-mail programs.


Er then I suppose that the fact I've pretty much used the same password constantly for both my hotmail accounts since pretty much the year dot with no problems means what.... either I'm v.lucky or those that are using my email addresses (if they are) are spoofing it (possibly why I've not had a reply from Rob Jan about a recentish radio broadcast he did in which he played some bad quality tracks from Linebarrels of Iron and attributed 'em wrong).

Then again, I very rarely access my hotmail email via the browser interface. I read my webmail through either the 'Windows Live Mail' app, iPad mail app or MS Outlook. Which mean if you've got my devices, you've got my email account. It also means that I only entered my password once.

Also your using of 'haxed' is inferring that the spam is actually appearing in your outbox instead of the more typical spoofed sender spam which never actually enters your email account processing chain.
