Is Your Hotmail Password '123456'? Not For Long

 Attention Hotmail users: if your Hotmail password is "123456," it won't be for much longer. Microsoft said Thursday that the company has added a pair of security features designed to cut down on the number of people whose accounts have been hacked, or who could be compromised in the future. The first, known as "My friend has been hacked!", has already rolled out; the second, a feature to ban common passwords, will arrive soon.
