Well I haven't been on any dodgy sites, so could this just be an error?
Phishing site (any site which claims to be a web messenger / block checker / etc. where you need to login). Email scam pretending to be a legit site. Some password stealer/keylogger/virus bundled whit what seems to be a legit site.

Visit a dodgy site isn't required to be exploited, it can happen to even the most security cautious people.

The only thing you could try to get your account back is visit http://hotmail.com and follow the "forgot your password?" instructions which are linked to at the login page. Or contact support: browse around on https://help.live.com//help.aspx?project=liveidv1 and you'll find a "More Help" link from where can request support.
Finish the problem
