“If Linus Torvalds (founder of the Linux operating system)
had anything to do with Hotmail, this would have never
happened.”
“BILL Gates’s Microsoft might have to send out more than an
e-mail to soothe angry Hotmailers after a security hole exposed
private e-mail to the world.”
“Microsoft is investigating the number of Hotmail accounts
affected by the security breach – in other words, who was

“A spokesman for ninemsn said the company’s Helpdesk had

“On ZD Net, users complained about Microsoft’s lack of response.
Said one: “What’s insane is that his story was reported for several
hours on slashdot, the Register, the NY Times and CNN, before

my credit card numbers to keep them secret?””
