Well you signed up with your real secondary email. That might be a problem. He could have linked name+email+secondary email+password.

You probably already changed all your passwords, but even still it sucks that he kind of knows what other addresses your name is linked to.

Where can you check to see if you have any other emails associate with it? I don't remember it being a requirement to use a other email to sign up.

guys, again, no one has your password.

at worst they have your account name and your first and last name. change your personal info and close your account now. you'll have nothing to worry about.

no passwords got stolen.

Damn site said I couldn't close my account because it was tied to my Live ID.

Just follow the link they give you, and close it from there. It doesn't affect your other @hotmail.com or @live.com e-mail addresses, only the @dot.net.

Closed my account too, just now.

Twitter and another forum, seemed legit around the time and it spread like Kony 2012.

Again I apologize for what happened, already talked to a mod. Won't happen again.

No harm no foul.

I used a dotnet account for a site that sends newsletters daily but nothing has gone through to me since March 9th. I also used it to sign up for a random forum and did a few forgot-my-password requests and nothing comes through either. Don't really know what this means..

I'll re-iterate.

Extremely unlikely he has anything other than the username you entered + the first/last name. The linked page IS hosted on Microsoft's servers, data is transfered from your browser to MS using HTTPS, etc.

The important thing is that at some point he could change the DNS and start receiving all of your e-mails. So discontinuing use of the account, deleting anything you can from it, etc. should leave everyone OK.

But he probably already has ripped your username + first/last name into some database.. which isn't the worst thing in the world and unlikely to ever matter to you.

Ouch, it's been a while. For what it's worth, I don't think they really ended up getting much info. I made a superfluous account with the username/password combo I used for one of the email accounts to see if it'd get hacked and it didn't.
