I have just been alerted to the fact by my son that my MSN email account davidbrown_55@hotmail.com has been hijacked by unknown person/persons my son asked me if I had sent him an email this morning, obvious answer no if it had not been for the fact that we live in the same home I might have never known so here it is I have sent no emails to anyone in the past week I rarely do and most of the time its in response to someone asking for help or information so the point is if you have received an email from me at that address DO NOT open it its a phishing scam to obtain your passwords. just changed my password if you get any screen that looks like its from MSN asking you to respond to a new contact proceed with caution.

Time for a Spyware/Adware sweep as well as a Virus check as well.

My e-mail get scanned by avg and I use outlook.When you log in to check your e-mail MSN uses trend micro.I would check your system to see if any hijacker or trojan got a hold of it.

This was an attack on my contact list to block contacts, an email was sent to my email account asking me to log in to my MSN account it looked like an official MSN screen but its not, be careful.
