Email - reporting spam/phishing - from a Hotmail address

My computer has NOT been hacked - I merely received a fraudulent email from an @HOTmail address.

I get spam/fraud emails almost every day but they are rarely from hotmail/gmail/yahoo/ type addresses - when they are from a large internet email provider - if possible as well as reporting the fraud to the UK Investigation service I report it to the hosting company - in this case Hotmail - I found I did not have a forwarding address saved for hotmail frauds and so checked the TenForum webiste and also did not find one there - hence my post and then further investigation and comment.

Nonetheless thank you Macboatmaster for the very helpful response - which I hope may also prove useful to others.

 

Hotmail accounts posted online

Thousands of Hotmail passwords have been hacked and posted online, according to reports.

See this arcticle for more details:

BBC NEWS | Technology | Phishing attack targets Hotmail

I suggest that you change your password if you use any "Live" accounts.
