Are you sure your account was compromised and it wasn't just a spammer
forging the sending address?
Password of my hotmail account was not changed. I had access to my
account.
I just read about email address forgery. I think it was the case of
email address forgery. I had little knowledge. So I had checked source
of emails. It was originated from sancharnet servers, which was only
ISP available in those days in India. And I recall that I was not using
email address given by my ISP because they were still struggling to
make there email system perfect.
So somebody who know me used this weak point of ISP. Spammers send
email to dictionary word addresses. Email address of my office was
strange, not disclosed on net and known to just 20-30 persons.
In those days I had taken review of persons who know me and who has
knowledge of computers to such depth.
I closed in on one name. But I know this person very well. He can't do
such things.
But sometime people are unpredictable.
