Well I think my old hotmail address has been hacked(not 100%). It's never really used by me as my main email is a gmail one. Only reason I have the crap and check it now and again is because it was linked to my Xbox360 account.

So I logged in today to find loads of "message delivery failure notice" messages in my inbox. Having looked through some they are all emails from me with spam links in.

I dont use this account hardly anywere at all and I dont use the same password on anything else. I'm not sure how I've been hacked(if I have and its not some other exploit) and luckily there is no personal information in the account that I know of.

Has this happened to anyone else ?
