What can I do to recover my email address after it has been Compromised?

I don’t mean to be snarky, but isn’t this a question that Hotmail needs to answer? Only they can really tell you whether you can recover your email account with them…

There are several validation methods that are used by Hotmail. If you can’t get past the various methods and questions, then I suspect the account may not be yours or you will simply not be able to get it back.

same thing happened to me on yahoo. i had to give up and create a new one and let all my friends know my new address. Bad luck mate

It sucks but try talking with someone from the staff [ contact someone there or a helper ]

if you can’t verify who you are to their liking, pardon me, it sounds like you are not the person who has the e-mail account.

@Tropical_Willie not necessarily, I changed my passowrd, couldn’t remember the new one, the alternative email was a work email that I had left and could answer none of the security questions – ‘what’s on your pinboard?’ I don’t have a pinboard!
