Breaking: Thousands of Hotmail passwords leaked online
Neowin has received information regarding a possible Windows Live Hotmail
"hack" 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.
Neowin has reported this immediately to Microsoft' Security center and to
Microsoft's PR teams in the UK and US and we are currently awaiting feedback on
the situation. As this is a breaking story please check back frequently as the
story will be updated as soon as more information becomes available.
If you are a Windows Live Hotmail user Neowin recommends that you change your
password and security question immediately.
Thanks to Chris for the news tip
