Hotmail Accounts Getting 'Hijacked,' Microsoft Says
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft pointed to e-mail account "hijacking" as becoming an increasing
| problem, especially among Windows Live Hotmail users.
|
| [...]
|
| According to Microsoft, a hijacked user account would allow a hacker to send
| e-mails to the user's contacts, which could result in both the user and those
| contacts unwittingly downloading worms onto a workstation. From there, such
| malware can spread to the network.
