A bizzare thing happend to me today........

I had just finished college, and popped into the local libary to use one of their computers. I had never been in there before, and I had never used any of the PCs.
When just before I typed in any address, in the address-bar, I checked the history, and saw what I believe to be my hotmail account in there already. What is even more odd, is that looking at the history, it seems that everything I did that morning at home on my PC, was stored there too. For example, checking my emails, looking in the junk folder, and writing a couple of emails.

Does this make any sense to anyone ? No one knows my password, so why the fudge is my history on a totally different computer, in a place I`ve never been before ?

Maybe its just a bizarre coincidence

Man that is scary....

I was on the bus home from work today and was thinking, hmmm I really could do with brushing up the banner logo that heads up my Area 450 website. Got home, and a bloke from Oz had, without any prompting from me whatsoever, e-mailed me....a re-worked image of the banner logo.

This is one weird world we live in...

What do you mean by "what I believe to be my hotmail account"? Did it make reference to your user id or not?

Hotmail is a pretty popular email service. You probably wouldn`t have been the first to visit it that day.

Bizarre coincidence in opinion.

I was using the imesh file sharing program a while ago for downloading mp3s and clicked on the persons name from whom i was downloading to see what else they had on their PC, and came across a Hotmail cracking password tuturial exe.

So its possible lots of people are finding hotmail accounts and using them for themselves.

I have a question.....when, you sign in on hotmail.com it takes you to your personal area on the web right. And the address is usually something like 1w10fd.-----or 1w14fc.... whatever.

Are there lots of people address that begin with 1w10, or is it not that common ?

They could be hexidecimal values, if so, the two numbers above are miles apart, even if they do look similar.
