     I had an exploit from Hotmail recently.  It's interesting because I
exclusively use Ubuntu and have been for a few years now.  People on
my MSM list mentioned they were getting strange messages from me.  I
finally got one of them to send me a copy of the message which was a
link to a website.
     I shut down my computer and rebooted into knoppix for security. To me
the site, in my name some how, appeared to be a phishing site.  I
went to Hotmail and changed my password and the messaged stopped.
     I have no idea how they got into my site but there was no other use
of my Hotmail information.  It is difficult to imagine they breached
MS security to get this information.
