Customer Service
It's best to contact them directly yourself and explain that you received the email but were worried it wasn't legitimate so you didn't respond directly to the email. If you didn't send a lot of emails during that time, you were most likely hacked. Hotmail is trying to contact customers when there is strange activity on their accounts. Your best bet to be safe is to contact them directly with a copy of the email.
