Thanks, Mark, for your quick reply. My post was lacking in that I did not indicate that I had done the minimum leg work myself (i.e. I did read the article). My concern is that I have signed up for Yahoo and Deja/Google mail accounts for various reasons in the past, and while I don’t believe I ever signed up with MSN, I can’t be too sure.

I suppose what my question boils down to is this — is there a way to anonymously check if a particular email exists in the Passport database?

Thanks again.
Joe

FYI I found out about the security hole from the WOW Tips newsletter today, so, yes, Woody is on the trail (whether he’s terribly concerned about us users of the “old” versions of Office products, well…).

Can you say StarOffice?

COMPLETELY AGREE!!!

While it feels good to vent this, I wonder what is the most effective forum to direct these observations. I have come to understand that the WOW crew has unique visibilty within the halls of Redmond (at times it seems like the Softies actually listen to Mr. Leonhard!). How can we leverage that to get action on this complaint?

Still steaming…
