Anyone gotten spam after the security update at Windows Live?
Sorry if this is in the wrong section.
But I have two email accounts, both are live.com.
Account nr 1 is an email account I use for personal things and never use it to sign up, for example, forums.
I've never gotten spam in that account.
Acccount nr 2 is my "spam" account where I sign up for forums and such, and in which I get spam, about one a day. And I hardly ever sign up for any forums (this forum is the latest one for a number of months).
I had both linked together with no spam in account nr 1; still don't understand why they took that feature away and think the reason is bs.
Probably just over a week ago I couldn't sign into my account unless I gave Microsoft my phonenumber, for two-sided verification (I think it's called).
Well, luckily I haven't gotten any spam phonecalls nor sms; but I've just recived my very first spam into account nr 1.
I'm pissed off!
Only reason I can think of is the one above; but I'm technologically minded so my reason is perhaps flawed.
But can anyone tell me the reason?
