But if you look closer, you may notice something else: Those same services can also help you crack others' Webmail accounts. <br><br>Gunter Ollmann, chief security strategist at IBM's Internet Security Systems unit, published a <A HREF="http://blogs.iss.net/">blog about the password cracking services</a> on Monday, after doing some research on these legitimate-looking services. What he found might make you think twice about using Webmail services -- <strong>or at least think more carefully about what data you put into your Webmail messages.</strong></div>Source/full article: &raquo;<A HREF="http://www.darkreading.com/document.asp?doc_id=163471" >www.darkreading.com/document.asp&middot;&middot;&middot;d=163471</A><br><small>--<br>Smokey's Security Forums &raquo;<A HREF="http://www.smokey-services.eu/forum/" >www.smokey-services.eu/forum/</A><br>Smokey's Security Weblog &raquo;<A HREF="http://smokeys.wordpress.com/" >smokeys.wordpress.com/</A><br>ASAP Site Member &raquo;<A HREF="http://asap.maddoktor2.com" >asap.maddoktor2.com</A></small>]]></description>
