I have used Hotmail for 25 years. Never had a problem.
Unless you have an easily guessed password, how do you get hacked?
If you type in the wrong password three times, then you have to answer a couple of your secret questions before they let you type in the real password.
If you use a public computer, then you might be more at more at risk, but you still have to answer your secret questions before Hotmail allows you to change your password.
