An operation of large-scale phishing data has more than 10,000 accounts of Windows Live Hotmail service from Microsoft available to hackers.
Through a massive phishing operation has been achieved up to 10,000 passwords for service accounts in Microsoft Windows Live Hotmail. As the company has announced that its reports over the weekend discovered the theft of account credentials, which continued to a phishing page that collected data from users without Microsoft’s internal systems had been compromised.
The news site Neowin.com announced yesterday that the usernames and passwords of more than 10,000 accounts were published, and believed that most of them belonged to Europe.
Microsoft warns users whose credentials may have been committed to change their passwords immediately.
Both Microsoft and external security groups have long suggested that users have to make an effort to prevent phishing attacks carefully checking the internet address for accessing and providing no information on suspicious pages.
Also note that while some indicators show that phishing activity has decreased slightly in recent months, experts say that the business will grow as it approaches the holiday season.

The web mail service Microsoft has lost popularity, although the company hopes to relaunch the revamped service with Windows Live.
Hotmail, the Microsoft e-mail that for a time was leading free web mail services, is losing steam. By contrast, Gmail, Google’s equivalent service gets more popular every time.
According to statistics from ComScore, Hotmail has lost 5% of users, while Gmail has achieved a growth rate of 43% to a total of 29.6 million users.
Nevertheless, Yahoo! Mail service is still the most used e-mail, with a total of 91.9 million users, keeping a distance with its competitors. Secondly, are AOL, American Online, which has a total of 46.6 million users.

The seeker chooses to share scanned books with Amazon, Barnes & Noble and other bookstore to end the criticism of the monopoly and infringement of copyright in the project.
Google has announced to the Committee on Justice of the U.S. House of Representatives that will share all their digitized collections with the aim of putting an end to accusations that it created problems of monopoly, infringed the copyright and could pose a threat to privacy .
“Google will host digital books (scanned) online, and companies like Amazon, Barnes & Noble or your local bookstore may sell access to users at any Internet-connected device you choose,” the Internet giant, reports Reuters.
The Google Books project has been surrounded by controversy from the start. The authors and publishers complained to search the ownership of works scanned and rival firms and some libraries have accused Google of violating antitrust laws to dominate the market for digital books.
By the time the Justice Department is investigating the matter, but with the just announced as Google, the Internet giant has gone ahead to future demands and the verdict of the judge.

The judge has asked Google to settle the agreement with the Publishers Association and U.S. Authors Guild for scanning books before November 9.
The agreement between Google and the Association of American Publishers Authors Guild and the U.S. will have to be renegotiated before 9 November, as the judge has established after analyzing the critical initial pact.
Both parties agreed that Google could include the books ‘invisible’, ie those outside the commercial circuit, which are discontinued or are ‘orphans’ rights in its Google Books service. Under the legal concept of Fair Use, the browser was unable to scan these works but the condition does not limit its use and market them.
The negotiated agreement allowing Google to search and use these works to publishers and authors rewarded with 63% of the profits from it. Also fixed the creation of a Copyright Management Entity to control the copyright of works scanned from. However, the Justice Department took the case to court last month, since it would violate antitrust laws.
As Reuters published, at the hearing yesterday, the judge rejected the current terms of the agreement and demanded to renegotiate to eliminate the concerns expressed by U.S. authorities. Both sides hoping to reach a new agreement for the hearing on 9 November.

Luis Collado, head of Google Books for Spain and Portugal, explained the functioning of the book search service and the controversial agreement with authors and publishers.
Google has clarified all points of the controversial deal it negotiates with publishers and authors to offer U.S. literary works outside the commercial circuit in its book search service.
Luis Collado, head of Google Books for Spain and Portugal, explained that the agreement focuses only on the books ‘invisible’, ie those outside the commercial circuit, which are discontinued or are ‘orphans’ rights. These works were scanned by the search by relying on the legal concept of Fair Use, present in U.S. law which states that the work can be digitized if they are books of interest to citizens and non-commercial use is made of them.
In Spain and elsewhere in Europe there is no such legal concept and therefore outside the U.S. Google has been limited to digitize only those works available in the market and those that are public domain. “In Spain they are not invisible books digitized by Google because we can not do anything with them,” said Collado, “and we are doing nothing that we do not have authorization.”
The agreement that Google wants to achieve with the Publishers Association and U.S. Authors Guild regulates the commercial use of the books ‘invisible’ by creating an Entity for Copyright Management. It also includes the possibility that each author decides the visibility they have their books and, in the case of authorizing the sale, distribution of profits from 63% for owners and 37% for Google.
The pact, which will be reviewed tomorrow by the Department of Justice shall have effect only in the U.S., but Google is pending changes in European legislation to incorporate into your digital book catalog all works ‘invisible’.

Google has reached an agreement with On Demand Books to include the catalog of its Google Books service between works that are published in this Notice.
Google has reached an agreement with On Demand Books to integrate the entire catalog of public domain books in Google Books service Espress Book Machine.
This company is able to print the book requested by the client in minutes and instantly, but so far had a catalog of 1.6 million works. The agreement with Google will multiply the potential of this printing, with many more titles available in multiple languages.
“ODB is to decentralize the direct distribution to consumers. With an inventory of Google, Espresso Book Machine will allow readers anywhere in the world to access millions of digital titles in multiple languages, “said co-founder, Jason Epstein, as reported by Silicon News.
“This is a revolutionary product. Unlike the traditional model of centralized production Gutenberg, distribution and sale, we sell first and then produce, “said the CEO of ODB, Dane Nelle.

After the attack that left exposed Phishing 10,000 counts of Hotmail, now it is his turn to some of its rivals.
Gmail, Yahoo Mail, AOL and other Web-based accounts have been hit by a phishing attack on a large scale, perhaps the same that hit a couple of days to more than 10,000 accounts in Microsoft Windows Live Hotmail.
Microsoft has confirmed the news and announced that it has blocked all Hotmail accounts hijacked and is offering users tools to help them regain control of your email.
It is believed that there are some 20,000 accounts affected Gmail, Yahoo Mail, AOL, Comcast and EarthLink, although at present no company wanted to assert these phishing attacks. Neowin.com has been the site which first reported the kidnapping of Hotmail accounts, which now claims to have seen the list of compromised accounts of other service providers web based email.

Both executives have talked about the supply and the possibility of buying Yahoo!, But Icahn is still to agree. “Right now would be against and is basically what I told Jonathan,” he says.
