December 30 Windows Live Engineering Blog Gets RollingWhile we took a little time off for the holidays (and moved web hosts), we didn’t want to miss commenting on Inside Windows Live, the new Windows Live engineering blog over at the Windows Blog. We decided to hold our tongue after a welcome post and the obligatory “we’re not going to talk about the future” post got the blog off to a bit of a slow start, and we’re glad we did. Even though we missed commenting on this latest post from just before Christmas, we think it’s too good to miss. In “A peek behind the scenes at Hotmail”, Arthur de Haan makes up for the first two posts with some very interesting numbers about the massive scale of a project that is Hotmail. de Haan lays out some of the facts:
Microsoft needs to talk more about the services they have to offer, in our opinion, and we think it’s great that the new blog is beginning to do just that. Congratulations again to the Windows Live team for getting this off the ground, keep up the good work and can’t wait for more!

In
today's world, it is not uncommon for you to receive an e-mail from a
person or entity that, although may seem legitimate on the surface, is
an attempt to get your personal information. The most important thing to remember is: If it sounds too good to be true; it probably is... Email Scam #1: Verify your account now to avoid it being closed!
How to tell it’s a scam? · It asks for your personal information. No legitimate company, especially Microsoft, will ever ask you to provide you username, password, date of birth and/or country, credit card information, etc via email. · The email is generally unprofessional or unpolished looking, including: o Notice the branding (logo & background image) on the mail above is awkward. The header only goes half-way across. o Random words are capitalized in the email, including: Email, Email User Accounts Owner, User, Accounts and others. o In the second sentence, the first word of the sentence, “we” is not capitalized. o There is poor grammar throughout, but especially in the final statement, “Warning!!! Account owner that refuses to update…” · There is an urgency of response time. This pressures you to feel like you need to make a decision more quickly and do not have time to research the legitimacy of it. · Signature is incomplete, stating awkwardly: “The Windows Live Hotmail”, not “Windows Live Hotmail” or “The Windows Live Hotmail Team”. Two other similar scam emails, which are highlighted on snopes.com, I’ve also seen come to my personal Hotmail account: · Ebay account suspension notices that ask you to verify your account information. · Paypal needs you to resubmit your credit card and bank account information.
Email Scam #2: A large sum of money is due to you if you just give us your personal information. This is actual text from a scam e-mail received, promising me $7M if I provide them with my personal information. “The outcome of the summit has prompted the Federal Government to empower only our Bank; First Bank of Nigeria PLC to Identify the owners of these funds and pay them outright with no delay. We have been asked to start the payment of US$7,000,000.00 (SEVEN MILLION US DOLLAR) as compensation to all affected Persons(Entities)i.e: Individuals Companies and organizations. You are one of the Beneficiaries on our list submitted to us so please reply to our mail for confirmation so that we can begin forwarding all other necessary evidences, facts and needed information to you. The Federal Government has earlier approved the release and payment of the accumulated funds in the Bank belonging to the Foreigners, but my boss Mr Jacobs Ajekigbe and the Former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN) collaborated together and refused to notify and tell you the truth on how to claim your fund. My Boss and the Governor are using the accumulative-interest to enrich themselves without the knowledge of the owners including you. Confirm to me your: · Personal Information; · Phone and Fax Number; · Banking Information” How to tell it’s a scam? · Reference to “First Bank of Nigeria” (or any other international sounding bank name), which is a common trick in scam emails. · Odd capitalizations throughout the email. · How did this government employee find my email address? · Why are they randomly giving people $7 M? · Why are they airing the dirty laundry of a conspiracy to not tell me? Email Scam #3: You won something! Scammers commonly impersonate use large companies that it’s likely you do business with. This next example appears to be from Microsoft, but it’s not. Read through the email below, to see if you can spot all the ways to tell it’s a scam, and then read through my list of things that tipped me off. Subject: ELECTRONIC MAIL WINNING NOTIFICATION From: Microsoft Promotion Team. (Memmi82@netti.fi) Sent: Fri 8/01/08 8:00 PM Reply-to: mfudiciary.mark@gmail.com To: result@microsoft.co.uk -- Your email address as indicated was drawn and attached to ticket How to tell it’s a scam? · The “friendly name” that the email is from is “Microsoft Promotion Team”, but if you look at the actual email address it came from (Memmi82@netti.fi), it’s not a Microsoft address, or a promotion management company. · The reply-to address is a gmail address. Microsoft would not use a competitor’s email service as their reply-to address. Additionally, it’s different than the sender address. · It is not addressed to an individual. Occasionally, there are legitimate sweepstakes that you’re notified via email, but they will be addressed to you as an individual. · The email begins, “The prestigious Microsoft and AOL…” A corporation wouldn’t tout themselves like that. And more likely in a legitimate sweepstakes email winning notification, it would start out with something like, “Congratulations, you have just won…” · It asks for your personal information. No legitimate company, especially Microsoft, will ever ask you to provide you username, password, date of birth and/or country, credit card information, etc, via email. · It has a foreign language at the bottom of it that is different from the language it was sent in. Email Scam #4: The sudden emergency! You receive email that appears to be from one of your friends that says they are stranded and need only a few thousand dollars to help them out. Any person would help a true friend if they can, right? Sure they would, but before you respond or act, ask yourself about the likelihood of your friend being in that situation. · Have they mentioned that they will be traveling? · Do they regularly participate in the kind of activity described? · Sanity check the information and if at the end you still aren't sure, then pick up the phone and call them. Today's technologies make it easy to impersonate someone and hard to find out whom is really behind the act. We must all realize that each piece of information we read and act upon has the time needed to pass our logic checks before we respond. One false click, and it result in you needing to spend time recovering your email, blog, or other service; or it could be months regaining your identity. Email Scam #5: If you don’t forward this email, something bad will happen. We’ve all seen emails that promise great things if you forward the email to all your contacts, or threaten bad things if you don’t. Topics Hotmail customers and friends have asked about most frequently are listed below, and link directly to the snopes.com articles debunking them: · A fee will be charged for Hotmail. · Internet petition to keep Messenger a free service. · Medical appeals usually involving injured or sick children.
What should you do if you receive a questionable email? 1. Investigate the information.
2. Report suspicious activities. If you think someone has accessed your Hotmail account, that the Windows Live ID sign-in page looks fraudulent, or you receive an email that tries to confirm a password change you didn’t authorize, change your password immediately by going to: http://account.live.com. Next, help ensure your PC has not been infected with a virus or malware by running a free full-PC scan. 3. Help the Hotmail team identify new scams. Click on the Junk button in Hotmail and select “Junk” or “Report phishing scam” to report it to the Hotmail team. Whatever you do, do not reply back to the sender.
