- Unauthorized collection of Windows Live ID's
-
Google is performing an unauthorized action by collecting the Windows Live ID of Hotmail, MSN, and Windows Live Users.
As stated on most Windows Live ID websites. You should NEVER give out your Windows Live ID or Password to any website that does not have the Windows Live ID logo, and the Windows Live Domain (live.com)
For those of you who don't understand, this means, Google isn't supposed to collect your hotmail info. They don't meet the criteria to be a trusted source.
Still don't believe me? go to the Windows Live Hotmail login website (http://mail.live.com) and look for the Windows Live ID logo. It should say "Works with MSN, Office Live, and Microsoft Passport sites" below the logo.
Now look at your address bar. it should say something similar to this: http://login.live.com/login.srf?wa=wsignin1.0&rpsnv=10&ct=1221629638&rver=4.5.2130.0&wp=MBI&wreply=http:%2F%2Fmail.live.com%2Fdefault.aspx&id=64855
There ya go.. so it's probably a good idea to NOT give google your information. Remember that google retains your searches for upto 2 years!! - Posted by: windowsknowitall Posted on: 09/16/08 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
