my hotmail got hacked

[BailOut]

I didn't even know that Hotmail was still around.

Regardless of the actual attack vector that netted you a hacked account, bear in mind that Hotmail runs on Windows and according to M$ themselves Windows cannot/will not be secured. So regardless or how much you lock down your end and how much they lock down their end both remain quite hackable.

Do you mean that his computer or Hotmail's Server could be hacked?

An attack to the Servers could be possible but it is more an virus on the computer the user used to login to his account.

@Barber and shinlee: Changing your password is the best solution but be sure that the computer you use to change your password is not infected by a virus.
