Yet Another Passport Security Hole -- 10:11 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Stop me if you've heard this before, but there is yet another exploit for MS's Passport service that has been found. Simply by reading a Hotmail message a hacker could have access to all your Passport information, including credit card numbers. I'm sorry, but if you plan on using Passport for anything, you are a fool. Thanks Slashdot.

J.t.Qbe comments: And stop me if you've heard this one before, but this is the company who wants you to store your personal data (credit card numbers, especially) on its servers as part of its .NET scheme, trusting Microsoft "security" to protect you. If you do, you're a fool.
