Hotmail Hacked

SyD writes " Apparently there is a major security hole on Hotmail that could allow crackers to read your e-mail. A hacking group known as root core discovered the hole and reported it to Microsoft. " This isn't the first time that the folks who are gonna give us a internet wide universal login system had a hole. The funny part is that I posted a story almost exactly like this like 2 years ago, and about once a week, someone emails me and says "I think my boyfriend/girlfriend is cheating on me and I really need to know the backdoor into hotmail to find out". No I'm not kidding. You can't make that stuff up.

    YES I AM A LAWYER

    Any smart lawyer would know a lot better than to provide unsolicited opinions on legal matters in a public forum. (Yes, it is possible to trace Anonymous Cowards through their IPs, etc). Now go back to your cave, troll.
