something tells me there will be alot more spam

[Vortex566]

Great for the site, I wonder how much strain this put on the servers hosting Neowin?

BBC Always links the external sites in the sidebar.

Is the hotmail link on the sidebar a link to the phishing site? :shiftyninja:

News Team

LOL @ "technology blog"

Cracks me up......

I'd call it a type of community blog. Neowin isn't an accredited news source, so its hard to describe.

[Rob Veteran]

Oh jeez there is a webcam, ha!

[That Guy Veteran]

Yeah, we better be seeing you in a Neowin shirt! :p

[Rappy Veteran]

Oh jeez there is a webcam, ha!

don't forget to smile and drink your tea with the neowin cup and do a thumbs up :D

[what]

Don't let the side down, Rob :p

About the leaked passwords: I bet we're gonna see a whole new series of chain mail asking you to change your password and forward it to 30 friends or you will get killed by Bill Gates in the next 24h.

[ToneKnee]

Nice of us to get a mention on these news sites :)

The accounts are obviously phished accounts that are on the list. Some of the accounts on the list are not correct.

For instance:

[email protected]:password (Incorrect Domain)

[email protected]:password (Incorrect Domain)

aroru83:password (No domain name at all)

arq_rdg37:password (Again, no domain)

If these were taken from Microsoft surely they would all be correct :)

So those of us who haven't been silly enough to be trapped by these should be okay :)
