If you've logged into your MSN account via a web browser from a public wifi hotspot, then there's a good chance someone sharing that hotspot had firesheep installed on his PC. Firesheep alllows the easy capture of account credentials when sent over non-encrypted (i.e., via http and not https) connections. Hotmail (i.e., mail.live.com) now allows you to set a parameter to always use https when accessing it. Connect tohttps://mail.live.com/ and you will be prompted to enable this. This encryption will prevent firesheep from sniffing your connection.Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]--------------------------------https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Brian.TillmanIf a reply helps, please vote it as helpful.
