Any Hotmail users noticed anything strange this evening?

My inbox had several Delivery failure notifications for items I never sent, and sent box had nearly 30 messages, all about 22:10, with single word headings such as Pro'cured and really and easily...

I wasn't logged on at the time, and have deleted all the erroneous messages in and out...

Owt else to be done

I has that with BT who use Yahoo, and they had been hacked using my E Mail account to send spam which bounced back to me when not delivered.
I had to contact them to change the password not easy with Bt but got there in the end

When I read the title I thought "Surely not...hotmail?  Issues? Never".

Sounds like your account is being used to send spam.  Change your password and scan your computer for malware.

Is it in your Sent Items as having sent? If not, I suspect somebody just spoofed your email addr, which is very easy, esp if you publish it on any public websites

When I read the title I thought "Hotmail? Who still uses that?"

Plenty of people still use it, I can't fathom why, but then again I still use Yahoo

Done, neither scan found anything

Just to add, there's only a handful of you whose email addresses I have, so if you receive any random shit, just bin it

As opposed to the usual random shit?

In which case your address is being spoofed unless you have a particularly weak password

Password is/was reasonable, ie a mixture of things mean absolutely nothing, nothing fancy, but equally nothing obvious either 

Speaking to a recipient, is was a link to an article about weight loss or some such shit

Owt else to be done?
