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.

I just can't believe you quote an entire email and don't give credit to the author. That's just plain wrong.

My guess is you are a karma whore, nothing more. Now I may be wrong, you might be the actual author. In this case, let us know.

/. sucks. FYI, the original foundings where from

Research by wAwAsAn4
wAwAsAn4@root-core.com
Web: www.root-core.com
Email: [Digital-Vortex]@securityfocus.com

Voila.

Ugly VB Code... yeechhh

[Lizard_King]

you can download the hobo4 program, written by the folks at Root Core to automate this vulnerability here. Warning about the code however:

a) it's in VB

b) you'll see methods like this:

Public Sub ii(MSG As String)

l_info.Caption = ">" & MSG

End Sub

are there no coding standards even among hacks?
