Hobo Hotmail Scanner - Hotmail Exploit may have been patched
The Hobo Hotmail Scanner got very popular yesterday after theregister.com wrote an article on the in-famous scanner which soon sparked interest from every up-to-date news guroo who wants to see who their latest girlfriend is emailing.
Aparently the 'exploit' was patched very quickly. In a posting today on the Root-Core Network website, Digital Vortex wrote: "As far as i can tell hotmail has fixed the bug i think..." which suggest that Vortex is no longer able to use his exploit snoop to check out your Hotmail account. For good reason considering that Microsoft gets bagged enough as it is already and I am sure most Hotmail users wouldn't hesitate to use another webmail client if they knew their privacy had been compromised.....
The founder of this exploit is: wAwAsAn4 who made root-core.com very popular (for a few hours anyway) and lagged the site something bad... Which seemed to be a greet feat for the root-core members, which all I might add are very young indeed and are very smart aswell to boot.
All I can say is the hypes over and I'm sure not many people will remember this 'exploit' for long especially if it HAS already been patched.
Greet to: Root-Core Network, Adrea and the 2600 Australia people..
