The gist of it is, my Hotmail email address had been spoofed yesterday, with hundreds of emails, possibly with viruses / hacking, which appear to have been sent from my Hotmail account.
All external to my iMac.
Hotmail were automatically alerted to this, and blocked any emails from my Hotmail account, real or spoofed.

I already have 3 different anti-virus / hacking protection software running, intercepting incoming, and am now running a couple of whole computer scans too.
Though TBH, it all seems to be external to my computer and (ex) Hotmail account

If I understand correctly, you gave your Hotmail Login credentials to a company called TechnicalSquad247 via e-chat on their website.
I suspect they've taken your credentials, logged into your Hotmail account and changed your password (for what purpose I don't know, perhaps to try and persuade you to pay them to regain access). This definitely isn't an official support channel for Hotmail and there's no-way they could have known that your account was used to send spoof emails.
I'm not really sure what to advise you to do now, hopefully someone else will have some better advice!
