If you are using Hotmail, you can find the ''My Friend Has Been Hacked' feature in the “Mark as” menu.

It can be used by users to report compromised accounts directly to Hotmail.

Once you lodge a report using that feature, Hotmail takes that report and combines it with the other information from the compromise detection engine to determine if the account in question has in fact been hijacked.

It turns out that the report that comes from you can be one of the strongest “signals” to the detection engine, since you may be the first to notice the compromise. 👍

Any hotmail users here?
