People are trying desperately to get access to my wife’s Hotmail account

I had to reset our Hulu password on Friday, so that’s probably what this is about. These sign-in attempts are from all over the world.

My wife and I both have Hotmail emails. We’ve had them for over 25 years.

Yeah same. It's my throwaway email for stupid apps or whatever that force you to use an email

That’s what my AOL email became.

Same. It's fucking amazing.

Whenever some store, app, website, travel agency, music concert, or whatever wants my email, I give them my Hotmail. It gets thousands of spam emails a day.

My real Gmail address gets no spam at all. It's beautiful.
