A hacker stole my email

Hi all,

This is not about games, but I think that it is important to know. I just would like to warn you about hackers. I don't know how a hacker did, but he got my password of hotmail account and changed it. He left a message for me at hotmail's secret question part. The message was " if you want to get your hotmail account back, email me". I emailed him, and yesterday morning I got email from a hacker. He was apologizing for stealing my email. He was telling me that this is his job, and he is not a bad guy. He gave my email account back, but I don't trust him. I couldn't understand what kind of work he is doing, does anybody have any idea about this?

Briefly, be careful and change your password periodically.
