It seems like everyone has their old Hotmail account hacked these days. I remember when Hotmail was a great way to keep in touch with friends and family. But now, it seems like the only thing you can do is type in your email address and hope for the best.
If you are using Connected Devices such as Windows Live Messenger, Photos or Windows Mail you no longer need your original [email protected] address to log in. All of these services have been migrated to use the new Windows Live ID system and therefore will allow you to sign in with any email address from an active @msn.com or @live.com account that is linked to your Windows Live ID without disruption or compromise for more information visit: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=133338
When you log in with a Windows Live ID, all of the services associated with your identity will be linked to it. So if you have another service like Messenger or Photo Gallery linked to your account, then these services are also affected by this change. Of course, you can unlink any of these services from your Windows Live ID at any time but if you do so then you may lose access to your messages and files stored on those sites so we recommend only doing this when necessary. If there is any information on your old Hotmail account that you want to keep for later use please export it now before linking anywhere else .
