Damn, but MSN is really easy to hack you know, you just need to know the personal question

although it seems logical that ms would be able to find a way of doing this, what with them hosting both services 'n' all... it's still mildly worrying about the third party shoot... :(

haha Suicide, shut up. that's the case with every single password out there... if you know the (answer to) the personal question, then you don't need to know the password.

They email your password to you, don't they? So not only do you need to know the personal question, but if they have another POP3 account, the passwords / usernames and server info for it..

But Callous you shut up, cause on most sites they e-mail the password to you, so you gotta have the e-mail address yours, but on hotmail.com, they don't send to the blokes e-mail they just ask for the question and display it

My mate keeps getting hacked by someone he knows, think it's because he asks stupid questions like where he lives and they go to the same school

Why would knowing where someone lives help to hack someone?

All you need to do to takeover someone hotmail and instant message os to know a personal question answer when you got to hotmail login they ask for login, you just have to press forgot my pass, then put their e-mail, and stuff, then they ask for the question

Can't believe there security is so bad, but there's micro$oft foru

well, everything was "undefined" for me, so I dont care.

The secret is to sign up for passport with an unimportant email address so that it doesnt matter :p
