There is widesp...Sure, if you believe the ms spin.<br /><br />There is widespread hacking of hotmail accounts. They mention it on their security blog, and have begun increasing security. <br /><br />Unfortunately they have not given any warnings to their users.<br /><br />They are simply not prepared for the types of modern attacks being used against them.<br /><br />Things like firesheep for example can be used to take over hotmail accounts for people who do not use the new https with hotmail, and do not use the new two factor authentication.<br /><br />The fact is some group has gained access to a massive number of ms accounts, and is committing fraud on a very large scale.<br /><br />It's not the same as what has been happening for years. New attacks are being used to hack into microsoft accounts.<br /><br />MS has been caught with their pants down, and are blaming users.<br /><br />More people need to know about the widespread new attacks that are being used against microsoft accounts. Since ms do not seem to be notifying their users.René Dudfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17762358075557755436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10678074.post-52265385493875282742011-04-29T23:13:30.986+01:002011-04-29T23:13:30.986+01:00That's is very different.

Or when they use weak passwords. Or the same password and email address in other sites that were broken into.<br /><br />It's happening for years. <br /><br />Nothing with "have been hacked"...freitasmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18206007560760788180noreply@blogger.com
