Subject: Security issue to be aware of...

I don't often post security issues here, but since this directly affects each and every one of you, I thought you should be aware of it.

Hotmail and Outlook Security Issue

Basically, Microsoft made a poor implementation of cookie authentication and now a potential attacker can hijack your cookies from your machine an use them to login to your account. They can't change your password unless they actually have your password, but they could send emails, post on forums, and all that under your name.

Microsoft calls this a known issue and is working on it. That's all we know for sure. This has been a known issue for... oh about a month or so... so hopefully Microsoft will find a patch for it.
