read the small print

I got an IM this morning from someone I've not talked to in a long time. It was a url for what appears to be a photo-sharing site. I say "appears to be" as the first thing it wanted me to do was give it my MSN username and password to log in, and it's not a Microsoft site, so I declined and opted to read their T's & C's instead

Facebook tolerated such things for too long, and that gave people the idea it was an okay thing to do in general.

I logged-in...is there something I can do to stop the messages they are sending through my MSN?

How to stop it...

Have you tried changing your MSN password?

It seems that some of the old hacks are happening again. My work computer got hit which I surfed to a ASP type website. Weird though considering I was on all work related sites yesterday...unlike now ;)
