Uh-oh, this is not good. Mashable just reported today that 10,000 Hotmail accounts were compromised when the login credentials (email address and password) were posted on a website. Only addresses beginning with A and B were listed, so this could indicate that there are more compiled lists awaiting publication. Check out the article here.
If you have a Hotmail account, you need to change your password ASAP! The fact that so many accounts were compromised reflects many of the dangers and pitfalls of cloud computing:
- Global access - whether you’re in the comfort of your own home or halfway across the world, you can login in anywhere
- What works with one account can be replicated across all accounts. In other words, if a bug is found with in the system, the entire system is compromised.
Since 40% of all online users use the same password for everything, this is a huge deal. The 10,028 accounts were compromised using a phishing technique (phishing is when a user is duped into clicking on a fabricated email that appears legitimate but is not).
You can read about it on the BBC and through Microsoft’s own statement.
