My hotmail account was also Hijacked and the Hacker sent a fradulant message, using my name, to my Contact List , saying that my family and I are  in Wales UK and had lost my credentials and appealed to the recipient to send money. for transportation Home. One Friend replied to the intial fraudulant appeal and was given instructions as to where to send Money.
The Hacker has also changed my Password., blocking my access to that Hotmail address and has inserted his/her email address in the place/item where MSN should send en email for changing the password.
Also, I have either forgotten the spelling of The Secret Word or that Item has been compromised because I am blocked there, because of too many entries.
I need help in order to regain access to that Hotmail address.
