Topic: Another Reason Why I Don't Use Hotmail Anymore - page 3. (Read 2447 times)
A lot of people do, so don't beat yourself up about it. There are a lot of reasons not to, for example, if you know a password has been compromised, you don't have to change it in a dozen different places. Most importantly though, you don't want to put your email's (or even worse, bank's) security in a 3rd party's (like a job site) hands.

I use both since one came before the other and one is legacy and one is not
Although both I feel spy on me equally mumble
Then theirs Yahoo

I find hotmail aka outlook to be the best. Never had any issues with them, and I love the sweeping feature.

The lapse in security was almost certainly on your end. If they have your email password then I'd be careful with your coins and make sure your comp is safe
I'm major on security which is why each email has a unique long password. I blame MS, I never used that email nor log in to check it, everything was forwarded.
Yeah, but long passwords won't mean shit for keyloggers. It's weird then. I can't see how it was a lapse on hotmail's end. There must've been someplace or somehow you slipped up.
i don't use hotmail because i wasn't born in the 1950's. especially since i had so much junk/spam in my e-mail.

Hotmail's spying. End of the story.
Gmail as well.mail.yandex.com is a secure email and also they allow your @domain email for free. Thats the main reason why i left gmail.
There was a time when I can access Hotmail via Outlook Express IMAP. When they stopped it, I stopped using them. I used yahoo for a bit, then switched over to gmail. I liked gmail when I first started using it because of the 1G mail storage while everyone else was at 100M or so.
My gmail was hacked once in the past, got it resolved very quickly and never happened again. That was back before they had 2FA.
I wouldn't be so confident that Microsoft doesn't scan emails.

Happened to me too, they changed password and secondary email recovery option - BUT forgot to change the SMS recovery option.
Now happily on 2FA for most of my gmail accounts.

I personally use gmail or yahoo. After hearing this wont use gmail hehe 
Hotmail is mainly used by homosexuals as per statistics
I am using outlook its great
IMO outlook sucks. When you log in it can take minutes before you can even open the mails, or well, do anything at all. I am using outlook its great
I'm not a fan of using google stuff either, but at least Gmail doesn't take minutes to work.
BTW, as hilariousandco said, the security problem was probably on your end, not on Microsofts.

Isn't Outlook just the renamed Hotmail?
I use Outlook which is another email service by Microsoft, and I have never received suspicious activity.

I stopped using Hotmail since Gmail introduced 2FA.
Not a fan of their scanning all emails though ...
yes , that's a different issue altogether but you can use PGP to protect yourself from privy eyes.
I don't understand how they waited on sending me the info for almost a month.
What are you using right now?
I stopped using Hotmail since Gmail introduced 2FA.
I stopped once I was invited to Gmail before it was released.
