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.
And let's not forget...I send you this e-mail in order to have your advice. I have a hard enough time reading my e-mail. Good luck to all the crackers out there who want to read my e-mail. I even got spammed the other day by someone selling orthopedic in-soles for people with a "leg lenght discrepancy" now that is something I'm looking forward to more in the future, Niche Spam.
