Is it me or ms never credit vulnerabilities according to
http://www.microsoft.com/security/passport_issue.asp  "a report was
published detailing a security vulnerability(...)"? No more details or
credit.
I also saw online news like http://www.vnunet.com/News/1140757 none
mentioned as it was said in Muhammad's post the issue was discovered,  and
ms warned since 12th April 2003. Meaning it let opened user's account (40 m
users?) open for almost 3 weeks...
