My hotmail account was comprimised. All personal info was sent to everyone.
Now I am in trouble. Can a person hack a hotmail account with software like
bruteforce. i thought each time a wrong answer. Then a wrong password window
opens. Therefore many seconds of time are wasted for each try. Making it
impossibly long to hack?

I replied to your other post.

There was a nice script a couple of years ago that would crack hotmail. Not
sure if it works anymore.

When dealing with email accounts like Hotmail, Yahoo, etc. It is best to NOT
send any sensitive info to/from the account. I always consider them as NOT
secure...
