- Use a strong password: Make sure your Hotmail password is strong and unique to prevent hackers from accessing your account and sending spam messages.
- Be cautious with links and attachments: Avoid clicking on suspicious links or opening attachments from unknown senders, as they may contain malware or phishing scams.
