Thousands of Hotmail passwords have been hacked and posted online, BBC News has learnt.
Microsoft, which owns the popular web-based e-mail system, said that it was aware of the claims and that it was "investigating the situation".
BBC News has seen a list of more than 10,000 accounts, which technology blog Neowin.net said had been posted online.
The blog suggested the accounts had been hacked or had been collected as part of a phishing scheme.

Pretty old, but I thought i'd post it.

The BBC make me laugh, OMGGGG THEY R PHISHING!! THIS IS SOME NEW KIND OF HACK OMGGGGGGGGG - no, it's pretty old news.

Thoughts?
