I got a spam or phishing or whatever it is called from my daughter yesterday with a hotmail address. I don't even think she has a hotmail account. But then just the link without a word of personal greeting would have tipped me off. Perhaps that is related to the problem the company was having yesterday.

No. I believe what you received was a result of your daughters email (or former email) getting hacked. The hackers have her (old) contact list. They mail out to everyone on that list. The email they sent you contains mal-ware or a virus, if you should click on the link. After you click, they get inside your computer and install keystrokes program, tracking, etc. . Then, every time you put in your password, bank account, etc. the hackers now have it too.
