Microsoft fixes critical Hotmail password bug

Microsoft has issued a temporary fix for a scary and potentially disastrous Hotmail vulnerability that could allow hackers to erase your email password, set up their own and take over your account.
The previously undisclosed vulnerability made it possible for a remote attacker to bypass Hotmail's password recovery service and exploit the bug to reset the password using their own values, according to a notice from Vulnerability Laboratory. Hotmail has more than 350 million active users, and is the largest Web-based email service provider in the world
