I think my wife's account got hacked too. When she booted up tonight, all her contacts were gone and I can't even get MSM to login now. What is going on? Has there been any info posted on mSN.com? If the MSM was hacked, then her hotmail is hacked too since they use the same passport.

<edit>

I just checked her hotmail account. It checks out fine. But MSM still doesn't work. All contacts are gone and it gives me the "Messenger Service Not Available Error". My account works fine on 2 other computers on my LAN. This could be bad. Thx for the heads up.

Messanger doesn't work for me either (service unavailable). i noticed before it went out if you get your contacts back and reboot you lose them again nothing on msn site but i sent them the info hopefully there fixing it i guess someone found out how to break in. o well.

btw my named was changed to thedoodontheside ofthemilkcarton (not sure where the space was) clever eh?

Well MSN.com works, but there is nothing on the site regarding this incident.

WOW! Same thing here gents! I was on last night and it did the same thing...but I was changed over to someone else's profile also...I even read their email!

I guess this is in response to MS calling Linux "viral". It's the news story right on the front page of Speedguide.

I doubt that they will tell us just what that was all about until everything is in the clear. I never realized how much I use it until it wasn't there to use.

The only MSN thing I use is the Messenger and all my contacts are gone. It was also offline much of the day yesterday. Fortunately, it's not something I use that much, so not a big loss as I only had a handful of names on it anyway.

So far so good, all contacts are correct and there. Program seems to be working fine on this end now.

np.

Well since we all know how good microsoft software is

maybe it just crashed due to high demand or maybe hackers that were a lil pissed off about the comment that microshaft made hacked it like a bitch. but if they took out msm why wouldn't they takeout msn.com or microsofts site? things that make you go hmmm.

KSJNX · Post by **KSJNX** » Sat Jul 07, 2001 1:33 am
