When you changed the password, you made it impossible for any prrogram to use the same trick to message your contacts, I think, and also impossible to send messages from that account under your name.

I also think that the people who used the trick have no way of knowing who the trick worked on, the only way they know it worked on anyone is because the volume of messages at the 'lose weight now!' or whatever site goes up. They just sent a bunch of messages at Hotmail and caught some victims.

It is highly unlikely that a spammer should learn the secrets of the N900 and use those few N900s that exist to do a spamattack, when the world is filled with windows machines and other happy victims.

But except for that, a dbuscall to

--dest=com.nokia.modest /com/nokia/modest com.nokia.modest.MailTo string:"mailto:"

Can create a new mail.

But for a spammer both to get the idea to investigate the N900 beyond that (Not only to create the mail but also to send it witout the users help) and to explicitly target N900s "com.nokia.modest" for such a nicheproduct as a N900 to send spam is highly unlikely...

Virusmakers,spammers and similar want their programs to be effective, and to explicitly target the extremly small part of the traffic done by N900s on internet is just a big waste of time.
-Malware cant even be spread effectively when the platforms marketshare is so low.

Well, Hotmail...

I recommend using GMail's 2-step-verification. It requires typing a code received by SMS when you log in from different machine than usual. Also, it generates special code for each app, so it is almost impossible for anyone to hack your account.

Yeah I know Hotmail sucks..

But I have the previligie to have my email ID as
name.surname@hotmail.com. I can't get that on gmail

Also, I don't think my emai was spoofed, since it sent out emails to my contacts.

So I guess it was hacked. I was just intrigued by my mail being hacked. It has never happened to me before.

Anyway.. thanks all for uour help and input.
Greatly appreciated!
