on November 9th, windows live mail, a new generation of Microsoft web mail system, officially landed in the Netherlands, causing a hurricane that rushed to register the new msn account @ live.nl (the suffix nl stands for the Netherlands).

unexpectedly at 10:24 on the 10th, on liveside.net, a website that uses Amsterdam time, a netizen signed Chris revealed that (http://www.liveside.net/blogs/main/archive/2006/11/09/Windows-Live-email-addresses-start-to-become-available.aspx), claiming that as long as you copy the code listed below, you can apply for a new mailbox with @ live.com and other suffixes. These include @ live.cn, which represents China. In the afternoon, this post was translated and reprinted by many Chinese websites. Xinmin successfully registered to the new mailbox according to the hint, and can successfully replace msn for instant messaging and e-mail.

Registration loophole will be deleted illegal account will be deleted

on the morning of the 14th, the method of registering @ live.com Live ID using the loophole has become invalid. Microsoft has fixed this loophole and eliminated the registration of illegal mailboxes, which annoys many netizens who have missed the opportunity to apply. In addition, as of press time, the @ live.com (cn) mailbox can be used normally.

on November 15th, a statement issued by Microsoft Hotmail and Windows Live Mail Support's official support blog made successful users beat their breasts: "it is illegal for people anywhere except the Netherlands to take advantage of loopholes to register new accounts." And said that this batch of illegal new accounts are likely to be deleted.

personal use may be retained to monitor account abusers

but recently things have taken a turn. The Liveside website, where the code was leaked, quoted a post on the afternoon of the 11th. Kevin Brody, a marketing official signed by Windows Live, declared: "We will not withdraw the @ live.com account that has been ransacked. We like your enthusiasm for windows live." "but will monitor account abusers, such as the spread of spam."

at 01:31 on November 17, Microsoft Hotmail and Windows Live Mail Support's official support website (http://mail-support.spaces.live.com) admitted that "the code posted on the web page proves that we have a security vulnerability and is being exploited," and that if the new account is for private use only, it is likely to remain active, but there is "no guarantee."

in this matter of live account, MS has burst two registration loopholes in a row. Before it was opened, a large number of accounts were robbed and registered successfully, and even I went to bet on two Live ID, but I don't know how MS will solve this problem. Or not busy to use, play first.
