I was just checking my e-mail, and it seems that I e-mailed myself today, around noon... The thing is, I haven't checked my e-mail in two, or three days, and haven't even considered sending anything to myself... I've viewed the headers and such, and determined the IP of the sender... I pinged to see if it was up, but it wasn't... I used the visualroute trace thing so I could find the position of the computers on the way over there, and it turns out that it is on my little island (Okinawa)..., though with an IP a little different from that of my own...

I also looked for other information in the header... It looks like they did login to hotmail to send it to me, but if that was true, they'd have to have logged in as me!!! I have a decently complex long password, and the answer to my secret question is just lots of random keys (not asdf). To be on the safe side, I've changed my password again... The message simply said 'gotcha!', with the subject 'boo'... All of the other information matches that of my own, such as the sender name and reply address... Only the hotmail server and the sender's IP are in there. I determined that they logged in from hotmail's website because the message was recieved via HTTP...

Anyways, should this be something I need to watch out for / really worry about? Hopefully changing my password is enough if there was penetration into my account..., or is it? Any ideas would be appreciated... Thanks in advance...
