Hotmail Security Breach

Dan Miller writes “Ok, this is absurd. It seems that anyone with a Hotmail account had their accounts cracked wide open with a few lines of HTML code. When CNN contacted Microsoft, they were referred to Corporate Security, who recommended sending a note to abuse@hotmail.com. That’s just great.”

Typical Microsoft
Notice how none of this happened until Microsoft tried to deploy their “M$N Passport” service onto Hotmail. Microsoft could turn a marshmallow into a dangerous weapon.
it was great.
i looked at all my freind’s mail, ex girlfreinds, people i went to highschool, anyone i could think of.
i love it. it was /.ed at about 8:30 central and was taken down at about noon. 3+ hours of fun.
webmail sucks. use secure shell and pine/ mut or whatever…
Re: it was great.
Still happening, my email was breached on June 7th, email send to all of ouremail friends asking for 1,000 pounds because we were stranded in the London aiport. We got the same shuffle fro MSN security and no action or real reply. Only a computer generated email thanking us. Sad.

Fraudulent Email sent out of my account asking for money
Please advice me on what to do concerning this issue. A good friend of mine received an email from me asking for $2400 to wire to London. I did not sent the email nor i am in London. She called me this morning. I worked for the U.S. Navy and is at work right now and unable to access my hotmail account from work.
You can respond to me and send it to my navy account carlota.scroggs@navy.mil
My work phone is 757-462-8935. I did not know what to do so I called and reported this to the FBI office in Elizabeth City, NC and called my nmci office on the base that I worked. She was the one who advised me to contact you at hotmail security.
