Subject: Hotmail SPAM

 

Sorry if this has already been discussed, I've been off list for a while.

 

We are seeing a large amount of SPAM recently coming from legitimate Hotmail
accounts.  Presumably a bot out there somewhere has been mining passwords
off unsecure forums etc where people have used the same password.  I've
actually had a couple of friends get hit with it which is unusual.

 

Just curious if others have noticed this increase.

 

James.
