I don't want to provide false re-assurance. I would still recommend, at the very least, changing all your passwords (not just your hotmail one, but also for any websites where you used your hotmail address for the "lost password" function).
I tend to use the same login and password for these internet discussion sites including hotmail for login confirmation.
I use an entirely different login and password for any financial stuff
I suspect that I am somewhat vulnerable to being spoofed on the discussion boards so if any of my posts appear idiotic they should be taken as evidence that my account has been hacked
