I just received an email from him containing a link and a message that said "look at this"

You could hit reply and say it's been hacked?

 Nope, leaving it alone. Plus the email is probably disguised as coming from his account so if I reply I am replying to a stranger who now will have my email address.

 There should be a way to report it. 

I mark that stuff as phishing and block it.

It Outlook/Hotmail, there is a selection in the junk drop-down to say "My friend's been hacked!".

 That's how I found out my account got hacked. My crazy ex replied to the email asking if it was finally really me. Idiot

Well I could have phrased it better - my point was there are ways to communicate to alert someone about the hacking w/o giving up your personal email.  I keep several accounts for this purpose, one of them gmail.  My expanded Hotmail account is never given out except to friends.
