| Seems a topical subject at the moment, a friend of a friend has had her email used by an intruder:
Confirmation details of purchase of weapons from China have been sent and invoices received, bullet proof vest, rifle, pepper spray, stun guns, laptop, mobile etc etc.
Police have been informed. Yes it was Hotmail! |

| Don't know that one, not too eager to get involved with that email address at the moment, if it is still active that is. Bullet proof vest was ordered from Israel, I only know where things have been ordered from and not their destination. |

| Didn't know Hotmail sold guns!
Surely her credit card, WorldPay or PayPal account would need to have been breached? I've never managed to order goods via Hotmail... |

| This is what happened to me, my computer was cloned! They got into my Paypal account and removed the funds, and I was in NC at the time with no internet.
Paypal realised that my computer was in the 'wrong' location and managed to retrieve the funds, my whole computer has been breeched.
I do believe I was the victim of the new Zeus virus
