Re: Hotmail hacked? The password was 4 letters plus 4 numbers. The letters didn't spell anything, were not scrambled letters of a word, not in alpha order and not in any proximity on a keyboard. The numbers also were not in any particular order.

Do you routinely stay logged in to MSN while browsing the web, or is it set to auto log in. I am wondering how the MSN session id cookie behaves.
I know in the past a proof of concept with Gmail for example allowed a session login cookie to be hijacked and then used from another IP, though it was a complex process, that would appear to be way above this skill level.
I like Snowy  's potential scenario, there is an abundant supply of cheap labor There could be thousands gainfully employed testing pws 21/7.
124.135.246.67 does not show up on any listings, so I assume they are not spewing from that IP. Not a ptr on any IP in the route as soon as you hot the mainland:

I only check Hotmail (and my other junk accounts) once a day. I close the window but I don't log out. However I did let Firefox save the password, so I am not sure if that is what you mean about auto log in. That is, when I go back the next day I don't have to log on again. Is that what you mean?
