Global warning: MSN/Windows Live/Hotmail account hacking

[MentaL]

Hi

It appears allot of users are being hacked recently due to clicking links provided to them via their messenger or email, to be safe please avoid clicking any links that look suspicious especially those with a similar file name such as http://website.com/image.php?=email@address.com. (note, even if it is a friend providing the link, do not click)

Also you can disable hyperlinks by doing the following;

1) Open a conversation with anybody
2) Click 'Tools'
3) Click 'Security' then untab the 'Allows links in the conversation'



Best of luck.
