Title: Quick fix for Hotmail password bug
Post by: Paddy on April 28, 2012, 08:49:09 PM

Microsoft has rushed out a fix for a serious bug in its Hotmail webmail services.

The bug allowed a hacker to reset the password for a Hotmail account, locking out its owner and giving the attacker access to the inbox.

The fix was put together because the bug was starting to be actively exploited online.
