Hotmail introduce a new feature called My friend’s account was hacked!. It lets you report your friend’s account as compromised.When you get spam messages continuously from your friend, and if you think that this email isn’t really from your friend, it’s from a spammer who has hijacked your friend’s account just click “My friend’s been hacked!” on the “Mark as” menu in Hotmail.
Microsoft will soon be changing its password policy, to increase security of hotmail. Now creating a new Hotmail account or changing the password of an existing account won’t be able to use common passwords. Having a common password makes your account vulnerable to brute force “dictionary” attacks. Common passwords are like “password”,“123456”,”ilovecats”,”gogiants.”
