Hotmail users exposed. . .again
Microsoft's free e-mail service is under fire again, this time for a security hole that permits password interception.
The bug allows the sending of JavaScript code that could automatically present a bogus password entry screen. Usernames and passwords entered by unsuspecting Hotmail customers could be collected, leaving their e-mail accounts unprotected.
Microsoft said it is looking into the issue.
Earlier this month, Microsoft confirmed a different vulnerability that also used JavaScript for password theft.
