Asherons Call: Protect Your Hotmail Account

Recently Wired published an article discussing some of the security flaws that can appear in Microsoft's Hotmail service. If you use the "keep me signed in" option it is possible for someone to take two cookies from your browser's cache and sign into your account, even if you change the password. This presents a danger for Asheron's Call players using a Hotmail account as their passport for signing on to the Zone. Even more worrisome would be those who have bought accounts, the original seller could potentially login to the account at any time, even if you change the password. It should be mentioned that the Zone recently updated their CoC and stated, in no uncertain terms, that selling an Asheron's Call account is a violation of the CoC. For more details and some steps you can take to try and protect your account, you can look at Wired's article.
