| 154390 | 2003-06-23 05:08:00 | I know a few people going around bragging that they know how to hack into people's Hotmail account. It doesn't sound possible, but does anyone know if people have actually done it? I am in no way supporting his claims, as I believe that any form of illegal access to people's personal property is morally incorrect (and highly illegal). |

| 154391 | 2003-06-23 05:36:00 | Easily done in the past and was publicised on the web. Microsoft has patched many holes and I don't know if it is still possible. Mind you, anything is possible out there in Internet Land. People who brag about such things are "people with a little knowledge" and are usually the ones that are destructive to others and themselves. They happily "hack" and leave a trail a moron could follow back to them. So now it is illegal in NZ, barring government departments, (true) ,they could be in for a shock. |

| 154392 | 2003-06-23 07:33:00 | Well then, get your friends to try and hack snotty_grotty@hotmail.com - a "throw-away" account used for those sign ups where an email address is required and you don't feel like the possibility of spam in your personal address. CC made it, but I can use it for all he cares, etc etc. Most methods of hacking Hotmail are old, and have been patched. Mind you, it doesn't take a lamer to replicate the site, set up a web server, and modify the HOSTS file in Windows (or similar under other OS) to look for, for example, www.hotmail.com at www13.brinkster.com |

| 154393 | 2003-06-23 08:27:00 | That should be grotty_snotty@hotmail.com It is a throw away account, and several people do use it for online forms where they don't want to give away their own email address (can't blame them really considering some nice people have been now showing me more unusual places in the body where computer peripherals can go)... The password is one of the top 10 administrator passwords and isn't "god" or "sex"... Another hint is that it is all numerical... Shouldn't take too long from there ;) Just a little disclaimer for it though - I don't monitor it as it is a throw away account, and therefore I have no idea what is currently in it. I'm not interested what get's sent to it, but it's use is for Online Forms. CyberChuck |

| 154396 | 2003-06-23 14:29:00 | Hacking hotmail was quite easy awhile ago. It is still possible to hack into one and there are few methods of doing it. Just do search on Astalavista and it will pop up with tons of ways. Only thing is by the time you get to a method its already sealed up by MSN or is just a hoax. Dont fall for one of those asking you to put victims e-mail add in subject line and then your e-mail add and password in the 1st 2nd line of the body of e-mail and then send it away to a hotmail Add. It basically gives other hackers who have setup that address to access your account! I tried one ages ago and it did work. But i havent tried since then as that method doesnt work anymore |

You might like to point on what definitions you're basing this on as the definition is always a grey area now with the media inclined to use the hacking to mean anything relating a computer it would seem now a days. |

| 154398 | 2003-06-23 20:54:00 | The definition is very argueable, and has probably been debated in this forum several times. Hacking still seems to be the generally accepted and known term at this stage, which is why I prefer to use it opposed to using the word "cracking". |

| 154399 | 2003-06-23 23:24:00 | Well im not sure this is hacking but once u logged onto your hotmail account.A friend could secret copy the link at the top and paste it somewhere and send it to his email account and then they can access your account with a password just simply copy and paste the link into the address bar at ie or netscape. Opps i shouldn't have said that.!! |
