account hacked

[ Edited ]

So I checked my email about 5 minutes ago to find that my skype account had been autorecharged twice in 10 minutes (for $14 each time).

I logged into my Skype account and found my call history to be this:

And so on and so forth (someone in Denmark has been VERY busy). Not sure how it got hacked (I've never been to Denmark, but this is the information age); changed my password. I'm just wondering if I can get a refund, and what's to stop this from happening in the future.

 

Thanks

Thanks
