Or is this all an elaborate ruse by Leeza to throw the cops off of her trail after she's been stalking Momiji all this time...
Busted.

Well, I never got a message today, so problem solved, I suppose!
Now Denmark has it ;_;
I think just changing the password alone would work.

Yes, changing the password should work by itself, if it is actually the same thing as pops up on Google. And it's less of a server-side security flaw as it is a phishing scam designed to obtain peoples' usernames and passwords by tricking them into thinking they're entering their details into legitimate software.
Wow, I wish someone had told me "I" was sending them things. I clean my computer regularly with CCleaner so, I'm hoping that's the only one I've sent.
I'm assuming I sent that one two days ago, because one of my other friends got it from me two days ago. And today I got one from him.
I remember once upon a time my youarefat account for msn logged out by itself and my main account got a text from youarefat with a similar link to what Leeza sent me a few times.
I changed the password to the youarefat account and the problem has not returned.
Now, is this an example of a program that 'hacked' (for lack of a better word - cracked may be better) my password ? Leeza changing her password seemed to resolve the issue. Same with me.
No, you got tricked to give up your login info at some mean web site, probably. This is how 99% of MSN hijacks are done.

Man, wish I'd found this topic earlier. I've been helping people with this problem for years. Currently Akaria had it. I left her offline messages that it was happening and to change her password. Hasn't happened since
But yeah. Its strictly a password issue as some have mentioned. Nothing to do with the security of your computer or the programs on it. And I agree that its probably more on microsoft's server's side than anything. So saying "be careful what you click" probably isn't the solution. Though I'm pretty sure its never happened with my account..
Can't blame microsoft for the users of MSN to "willfully" giving away their passwords. Sure, they're tricked into doing it, but there's nothing MS can do, really. Even highly successful antivirus and security companies can't stop people from sending mail that looks like it's coming from them. These password-tricker sites that people run into are designed to look as much like a real MS site as possible, and are usually hosted on a server in some obscure country where MS can't get to them. And even if they do, the sites are like the heads of a hydra. Cut one off, and two new ones grow out.
If the site that asks for your password doesn't have a domain name ending with microsoft.com, live.com or msn.com, just close the tab at once.
