[Vision2020] compromised email accts?

[Paul Rumelhart]

I haven't heard anything, but I would definitely *not* click on any 
links in the email.  On the other hand, it might be worth going to 
msn.com or hotmail.com directly in your browser and changing your 
password the normal way.  It doesn't hurt to be sure.  Just make sure 
that the url ends in "msn.com" or "hotmail.com" after you've gone there 
- it's possible to have malware that reroutes you somewhere else to a 
page that looks identical to the normal page.  If it doesn't end in 
"msn.com" or "hotmail.com", or if it's a numeric IP address instead, 
assume you have malware installed.
