Information Madness

Microsoft Live Hotmail Accounts Hacked!!

Hiren Pathak

Are you the victim? Neowin has received information regarding a possible Windows Live Hotmail "hack" or phishing scheme where password details of thousands of Hotmail accounts have been posted online.

An anonymous user posted details of the accounts on October 1 at pastebin.com, a site commonly used by developers to share code snippets. The details have since been removed but Neowin has seen part of the list posted and can confirm the accounts are genuine and most appear to be based in Europe.

The list details over 10,000 accounts starting from A through to B, suggesting there could be additional lists. Currently it appears only accounts used to access Microsoft's Windows Live Hotmail have been posted, this includes @hotmail.com, @msn.com and @live.com accounts.

If your username starts with A's or B's, I would recommend you to change your password ASAP before it damages more..

My mother died when I was just 6 years young, since then my father took me so special. Before his death he called the secretary who accompanied him to the hospital and told him that he has the sum of (fouty Five Million Six Hundred Thousand United States Dollars ) USD$45,600,000 left in one of the finance bank in england and the money was placed in a fixed deposit account. he further told me that my father deposited the money in my name, I am just 29 years young and a university undergraduate and really want to invest this fund with any truethfull person in any part of America, Arab, asia or europe.This is because i have suffered a lot of set backs as a result of incessant political crisis here in my country, The death of my father actually brought sorrow to my life.so please dear
