Spam mails from my hotmail id

Hi All,
 
I saw a few days back some spam mails have been sent from this account (was possibly hacked?). Am taking care of this to my best. I never send any link in my mails without sufficient contextual information so if you happen to get such mails from my ids in future please delete it without clicking on any link and if convinient drop me a caution.
 
I now-a-days use skpatel20@gmail.com more frequently.
 
Thanks,
Sanjay
