Along with a sign-up procedure that asks you to, "enter your hotmail address and password," which most people stupidly do. It really is a no-brainer to steal people's passwords and (not actually) hack their account. You see that sort of thing on countless services. You take a /bit/ of a risk giving services like Hotmail and Google your other email addresses and passwords, so that they can "import your contacts." You take a huge risk when you do the converse with random websites. Unfortunately, smartening up webservices so they didn't give out your details, and your friends details, such as allowing a division of addresses into friends and non-friends, or configuration options about protecting your data, isn't going to help one iota, when people are idiots. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
