Hi,

My email account, lakestay@hotmail.con has been hacked into. I know this, as when I logged into my account, an email had been sent to my entire address list with a link to a viagra website.

Beyond changing my passowrd, is there anything I can do to make my email more secure?

Rgds,
Vineet

Hi Vineet. Welcome to EQ! :)

A good strong password is your best defense against hackers. Good password recovery questions that aren't easily guessable are a good idea too.

Lastly, don't ever give your hotmail ID and password over to a 3rd party like say Facebook or MySpace to help find your friends that's another as another possible attack vector.

I say protect your email address and password like you would the keys to your car.
