¿Tienes una cuenta de Hotmail? Pues prepárate, porque la privacidad de tu cuenta de correo está en entredicho. Muhammad Faisal Rauf Dank, uno de los operadores de la conocida web Zone-H.org, en Pakistan, ha descubierto un agujero de seguridad que traerá de cabeza a los usuarios de Hotmail. Este es el mensaje original que Muhammad Faisal Rauf Danka envió a la hora de reportar este bug:

From: Muhammad Faisal Rauf Danka [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, May 08, 2003 8:46 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Hotmail & Passport (.NET Accounts) Vulnerability
There is a very serious and stupid vulnerability or badcoding in Hotmail / Passport’s (.NET Accounts)
I tried sending emails several times to Hotmail / Passport contact addresses, but always met with the NLP bots.
I guess I don’t need to go in details of how cruical and important Hotmail / Passport’s .NET Account passport is to anyone.
You name it and they have it, E-Commerce, Credit Card processing, Personal Emails, Privacy Issues, Corporate Espionage, maybe stalkers and what not.
It is so simple that it is funny.
All you got to do is hit the following in your browser:
https://register.passport.net/emailpwdreset.srf?lc=1033&[email protected]&id=&cb=&[email protected]&rst=1
And you’ll get an email on [email protected] asking you to click on a url something like this:
http://register.passport.net/EmailPage.srf?EmailID=CD4DC30B34D9ABC6&URLNum=0&lc=1033
From that url, you can reset the password and I don’t think I need to say anything more about it.
Vulnerability / Flaw discovered : 12th April 2003 Vendor / Owner notified : Yes (as far as emailing them more than 10 times is concerned)

Se entiende por sí solo. Sin comentarios.
No vamos a dar los detalles, porque la privacidad del correo es esencial para cualquier hacker que se precie, pero salta a la vista lo que hay que hacer para obtener un enlace con el que borrar las contraseñas de una víctima asaltada bajo este método.
Muhammad Faisal Rauf Danka escribió más de 10 correos electrónicos a Microsoft reportando este fallo, sin que estos le prestaran la más mínima atención. Ahora no les queda más remedio que hacerlo ante la opinión pública.
