Someone Spamming my MSN contacts...

Hello,
I came on msn today to get messages from my friends saying that someone was sending spam on my hotmail account.
The message was:

Anyone had this? and is there any way I can stop it?

 

change your passwords

 

I did, but how did he get it in the first place

 

Your sloppy , thats how .....No offense But how else....unless "they" can read your mind

Its one of the two choices below

1) Your sloppy

2) They are inside you

Take the choice ( 1 ) and do as the "great Sammie" says

Be more careful and change your passwords asap

 

there;s also the fact that they could of spoofed his email address

 

How on earth can I be sloppy you idiot. I do not have a password that is easy to guess, nor have I EVER given my password out to anyone.
So please tell me your justification for your "sloppy" post.

 

There is no reason to call me an idiot, In fact YOUR the one that got hacked not me......

Let me explain as I was NOT trying to insult you , just merely let you know what was wrong...

There are two ways in this world to access something

1) Physically ( Touch, smell, type, look, talk, rant etc )

2) Mentally ( Think, dream, wonder, day dream etc )

So now that is out of the way , you can see what I mean.

You "thought" of your password....

Then you had to "physically" do something with it so that the rest of the "physical" world can know it

Now here is how that can happen

Example One;

You "thought" the password THEN typed in into an "infected" computer with a keylogger

If that was the case "sloppy" would be that you should check your computer more often for such exploits

Example Two;

Your a coder, I have read some of your threads...

So maybe you sold a script, let some one see your config file with a "common" password and then some ass now just tried it on all your stuff

NOW - there are PLENTY of more "physical" ways that you could have been "sloppy"

Unless of course you are part of the matrix and then they hacked your head like the agents did or actually tried to do to morphis .....

Its ok man,

The moral of the story is , BE more careful and spend more time on your machine.

Treat your pc like a classic car and you do the morning check before you go for that sunday drive

Hope this helps you understand that I was not trying to insult you , Just explain that it was YOUR human error,

Oh and for the record , I have NEVER been hacked on anything.............
