I don't think this is a problem with hotmail any more than giving your
credit card, pin number and other account details to a random person in the
street is a problem with your bank's security.

I think this sort of hacking is called "social enginering" because you
NEVER give out your user and pass to ANYONE that's asking for it in a
email!

Indeed. It's certainly not any kind of technical problem. In fact, its not
even that good a social engineering attempt. I've seen better.
