Windows 10: My Hotmail account stopped receiving emails

Hello, Since October 14, 2024, my Hotmail account has stopped receiving emails. Account: *** Email address is removed for privacy *** HELP!

:)

 

Very old Hotmail account

You can verify whether your hotmail is still alive in MS account, it should be listed as an alias.

If there isn't one you should be able to know whether you still receive email from hotmail into outlook inbox?
Or at least log in to some site registered with your hotmail email. and then see if you can verify you email and watching for inbox in outlook.

 

Hotmail accounts posted online

Well, there you have it: it WAS a phishing attack.
Email phishing attack spreads to Gmail and Yahoo

As if someone would just hack Microsoft's servers, pah!

Eat that MS bashers! *Stick Out Tongue

 

Unauthorized Emails from my account?

It is more than likely that your email account was hacked, either by a virus sniffing your password, or just simply hacked.

Either way, change your password on your email account. Unfortunately the damage by already be done. They already have your contact list and your email address associated with that contact list. There is nothing stopping them from sending out emails using their own SMTP servers to everyone on your contact list and claiming the emails are from your email address. They don't actually have to have access to your yahoo account or even any yahoo server to send emails to people that come from your address.
