Neowin earlier today reported that the three most popular webmail service (GMail, Hotmail and Yahoo Mail!) has being targeted by malicious fraudsters in phishing scams.

Neowin initially revealed  that over 20,000 email on Hotmail has been compromised, this includes MSN passport accounts as well. From Neowin’s article we can see a statement released by Microsoft:

"Over the weekend Microsoft learned that several thousand Windows Live Hotmail customer’s credentials were exposed on a third-party site due to a likely phishing scheme. Upon learning of the issue, we immediately requested that the credentials be removed and launched an investigation to determine the impact to customers. As part of that investigation, we determined that this was not a breach of internal Microsoft data and initiated our standard process of working to help customers regain control of their accounts."

However later today an update was released by Neowin stating that the phishing scams has crossed over to GMail (confirmed) and Yahoo Mail.

Here at SlashNow we strongly advise you:

  • should change your password in your email account whether its GMail, Hotmail or Yahoo Mail. 
  • Do not open any emails that are from unknown senders.
  • Do not click any links that is unknown to you.
