WARNING: Security Wipe deleted contacts on my Hotmail Account

Hi all,

Today I just did a security wipe that included both the contacts and application on my BB 9900. I later logged onto my computer on Live Messenger and noticed many of my friends are not online. Upon contacting them on Facebook, I noticed I lost a lot of contacts on my contact list.

I am now trying to track down which contact has been deleted and it is a pain in the rear. Not all contacts are removed, only some of them. I synced my hotmail and gmail contact onto the BB, but only the hotmail contacts are affected.

I have twitted it to @BlackBerryHelp but have no received a respond yet. Be warned should you plan on doing any security wipe.

Bummer. Sorry for the hassle. I wonder if this would also happen of using Google Sync for contacts. It would wipe contacts from the phone, would it then sync with Google account and clear them there?

I logged in to my google account and looked up the contacts, it looks like the whole list is intact, only my hotmail contacts were affected
