*Changes mine* Thanks.
I saw something similar about hotmail accounts being hacked recently too. Well, it's nothing new, but the "Forgot password" link which then asks you to answer your questions you set up when you first signed up - people seriously should NOT use their actual info such as "Name of first pet", "Place of birth" etc - people can find these out way too easily on thinkgs like Facebook now.0
