...who's with me?

Just venting steam. I believe I have been phished. It was my own fault.

An old hotmail account has been compromised and I am locked out. I don't remember the security password or the email account I associated with it. The account is over 15 years old.

I sent an email to Microsoft help, and hopefully they'll see a pattern of IPs that abrubtly changed. Is it too much to assume that they'll have any common sense in dealing with this matter?

I don't care if they shut the acccount down. I just don't want to be responsible for spam.

What pieces of $#!t these hackers are!

There are laws already against hacking, the issues are figuring out who did it, the prosecuting. $10 says it was a kid in Thailand.

As for MS getting your account back, they are bombarded every day with thousands of similar requests, including some that are hackers just trying to get into your account.

Last year, my PayPal account got hacked and somebody changed the password on me, then started bidding. One call to Ebay, and a few e-mails corrected it. But that was about fraud and money, Microsoft might not be as easy.
Keep us posted.

"...who's with me?"

I am, but they'd probably McGiever their way out of jail. They should be made to serve in the Military, out of country.
