Default Anyone Using Hotmail?

I have been using it for non personal Email, for years, suddenly today, it seems like my junk mail filter is turned off, as all the email that would normally go to the junk folder is going in my inbox, needless to say, its a PITA, cause it used up about 35% of my monthly data on my phone before I noticed.... (FUDGE!)

Anyone else having this problem? I keep marking junk as junk but it keeps coming back to my inbox...

Nope mine is fine. My account was hacked a few days ago, but that's been cleared up. Your's probably was hacked and instead of sending out spam, they changed your settings and spam you. Send a message to Hotmail & they'll work to change your password and set your acct. right.

jack up the security to exclusive and put those you want on the "safe" list. Thats what I had to do to mine. I go through the junk filter daily to check to make sure I haven't missed anyone. Works great.

Mine was hacked on the 4th of april. Apparently it's becoming more common, hacking them to send out spam.

Apparently all they need to do is run a script that constantly tries passwords. After a number of wrong ones, it will present you with a captcha code which once entered will let them continue trying passwords.
Why they don't have some of 15 or 30 minute lockout after filling out the captch box 2 or 3 times is beyond me.
