Hotmail Hijacked Again

I opened my email this morning. Wow! 100 messages! I usually don't have that many unread messages... Oh, no! A bunch of undeliverables by Postmaster. About 25 of them. So I look at a few of them and discover that "g_constantas" sent everyone on my list a link to some unknown website. If you got one of these, I am very sorry. I did not send it. My husband got one and he was angry that I sent him a link to a site where he can buy Viagra. He didn't believe me when I said it wasn't me! It says right here, from Gloria Constantas!

But this has happened to me before and I have gotten other similar messages from people I know on hotmail. They only come from hotmail. So I tried to contact hotmail support. I can't send a question. I don't know if it is only my computer with that problem. Hotmail Q&A says that I must've given my password to some unauthorized site. I'm sure I didn't. But I really wish this didn't happen. I was just about to send out my newsletter. Right now I think there are several people who don't want to hear from me. Anyway, the spammer exceeded my limit, so I can't send any messages right now. I am just hoping that there are no more messages from the spammer hanging out in virtual space, that will be activated when the limit is resent tomorrow at 10:13am.

It's weird, they also deleted my "Sent" folder. I changed my password and security question a few times. They deleted all the sent messages from 2010 and 2011. I wonder why?
