hotmail, in the early days, was a breeding nest for hackers, just like outlook express and winblows. You could find lots of sites about it just by typing 'how to hack hotmail' in your favorite search engine. However, in their usual style:
1. Release shitty software, with lots of sec. holes and bugs
2. Wait for complaints and bug reports by users
3. Release a path for the software / Update the software
Microsoft has fixed all these enourmous security holes.
And, LukeHasj, i think that 'Losing trust' in microsoft is't quite correct. We all know that hotmail is a shite slow website that mostly crashes my p133 pc when i type
www.hotmail.com and that you only get 2560 KB, and everywhere you look you see things like 'Microsoft' and 'MSN' and 'Sign up now!'. But still, thousands of people register on the shite site everyday. Just because it looks good and it's easy to use, according to them. They simply have way too much trust in microsoft, they're not gonna loose it. Even if the
bugs were still there, most people wouldn't know.
I hear lots stories from lots of people who get hacked by friend, just for fun. What do they do ?
Get a new hotmail account and again starts the vicious circle.
And if i scream 'fuck microsoft, windows sucks!' they'll look at me like i'm a shithead idiot, because,
1. They think they have such a cool computer and run such cool games that windows is a part of this
'coolness'
2. They think windows is so easy to use, and so user-friendly, and just because it runs, it is ok for them.
