A script kiddy is probably having fun with an MSN freezer at your cost. Unfortunately there is not much you can do. Call Microsoft (MSN/Hotmail extension) and tell them what has happened. 1-800-386-5550Help Center: http://explore.live.com/windows-live-sign-in-help-centerI advice that you have a personal email and a public email next time. Do signups, registration, etc in your public email, and keep your personal email private (don't post on social networking sites, in replies, etc). Since someone is obviously interested in your email, I would recommend changing your password as soon as possible. Fortunately it's not all bad for you, the lockouts only span for about 15 minutes a piece, and these kiddies usually have bed times. Try again in a little bit.
