Wow that would suck if your account was hacked.

Hackers continue to improve their game, they must face penalties.

Most N4G users use the Hotmail competition site.

HOTMALE!

Users of HOTMALE don't concerning themselves with hacking or security. NO one wants to see what they are emailing each other about.

Phising is tricking the user to provide the credentials. That means 10k unsuspecting users gave away their passwords.

It has nothing to do with hacking let alone MS ability to secure their servers. Google once had a security hole that allowed emails to be forwarded to other email accounts via their filters. No password needed!

Why not use the original title of the article? Almost always do we get misleading or in this case plain wrong titles when it is changed!

I gotcha! You still contribute to the garbage here. It is already such a hostile environment that I think I'm going to lay off the comments.

obviously you dont or your just messing around. anyway Phishing is when a user is tricked into giving out their own information aka the accounts WAS NOT HACKED.

a quote from the story
"Phishing involves using fake websites to lure people into revealing details such as bank accounts or login names"

This is a result of phishing, not hacking. How is Microsoft supposed to stop their stupid users from giving out their passwords?

Agreed with OpenGL on this one. It had really nothing to do with M$. I mean, it's just retards that don't know what the hell their doing. It happens with paypal accounts and other types of accounts all the time.

Suppose a vault maker sells you an expensive vault for your bank and a thief comes along and steal everything inside.

Would you blame the vault maker for making tall claims and lying knowing that the vault is piece of junk or would you blame the thief for being so intelligent?

THINK. It doesn't cost money.

are you an idiot? your "arguement" is completely void.

Its up to the users of hotmail to keep their passwords secure. If you got a key logger on your computer and your hotmail info was logged would you blame Microsoft? (hopefully not otherwise your a fool) its EXACTLY the same as this but people gave away information on websites.

If you'd learn to read, you'd notice that this isn't Microsoft's fault. Also it's happening to Gmail and Yahoo accounts now.
