Security Incidents: followup to the MSN hotmail and .Net passport change post

[Dan Hanson <dhanson () securityfocus com>]

There are differing reports on the effectiveness of this attack. Our
testing here indicates that an older hotmail account is vulnerable, but a
newer one is not. It is unclear what the difference is, other than when
the account was created.
