Default Unsolved Mystery

Are you sure your account was compromised and it wasn't just a spammer
forging the sending address?

It was march 2002. I had hotmail account. One day I found that somebody
has sent email to my office from my hotmail account. I was shocked. It
has file attachment about airfares. By coincidence, I was in process of
preparing passport.

I also started receiving mails on my hotmail account from email address
of none other than my very senior officer of my company (my company is
world's largest insurance company and such things are unthinkable).

Since I had no knowledge of internet and there was no one in my office
who know what internet means, it was shocking puzzle for me. But in
those days I was working over serious job. Hence I abandoned my hotmail
account and ignored that episode.

But still sometime I wonder, who was behind it. One thing was sure. He
was someone in my company.

But question is how he got access to my hotmail account and sancharnet
(owned by govt of india) accounts of my senior officers?
