Confessions of a Hotmail Eavesdropper

from the ethically-challenged dept

Somewhat amusing article in Salon from someone who used the Hotmail security hole on Monday to read an enemy's email. Considering the number of folks I've spoken to who did the same thing, I wonder how many felt the same way at the end. While I guess it may have been tempting, I'm surprised that so many people jumped at the chance to read someone else's email.
