Windows Live Mail Backdoor
A backdoor into Window's Live Mail Beta has been found, granting access to Mail Beta with just a few simple cuts, pastes, and clicks. It still works, apparently. Here are the instructions if you want to attempt to perform it, but I've seen it live when Microsoft released it locally to press and I don't see any reason at all why I would want to use just Internet Explorer to access yet another e-mail account that's light years away from Gmail. And do you really want to trust a service that lets people like us get in this easily? Didn't think so.
)1) Open up Internet Explorer. MSN likes Internet Explorer, and hates Firefox. (Damn Microsoft!)
2) For this to work, you must be signed out of MSN. Go to the MSN Homepage, and double check you are signed out.
3) Copy this URL to Internet Explorer: Right Click On Here -> Copy
4) You should be redirected to another URL (Another URL to login). Sign in.
5) You should see the regular hotmail once signed in.
6) Once you see the regular hotmail, do Step #3 again. Copy the same URL above.
7) Click ‘Particpate’ on the bottom (Scroll down!) and walla! [sic, ugh]
P.S: It does work. Make sure your language/country in your settings is set to English, and America. I think Windows Live Mail! is for U.S. only, so that might be the issue. And be quick! Scroll down to where it says ‘Participate’ and click it!
A Flash video of the backdoor in action is at the second link if you're just curious to see what it looks like. So, any takers?
