Did you have a Microsoft email account and you use it? After 270 days, the account will be canceled and all information stored in it will be deleted. So far not reinstated anything, things are known and the written agreement with Microsoft. hhj But now learned something new: 360 days after you delete the account, the address will be again available to all. In fact, Microsoft allows herself to refinance our email addresses. Who are you, and why your emails come to me?
While the move itself seems to make sense, and that what the company commits itself to keep me address anyway I did use it and it was completely wiped out, yet perplexing things do not appear in the user agreement. In this case, it may well happen that someone, after two years of forgot about the existence of the account, send me an email to that address not only awake and kicking - my email even reaches directly hhj to another person, somewhere in the world.
Especially puzzling hhj Microsoft's decision not to inform anyone that this is a practice. Competitor, Yahoo, grabbed the head last summer after learning that "recycled" email addresses of users. However, Yahoo! least bother to notify the user that is what it intends to do, allowing them to prepare accordingly. In addition, the company also concerned to explain how it maintains user privacy and prevents identity theft cases, it is not clear how to avoid version hhj of Microsoft.
PC World magazine has revealed that Microsoft account recovery valid with respect to all services company, hhj so no matter if you have registered hotmail, Live, or Outlook. Establishment, your old account is compromised. Another turned out that this is not a new thing that Microsoft regularly for years, and in fact may have while reading this article, someone, somewhere - at the edge of the world, sit and read mail that was supposed to reach you.
This may seem like a particularly absurd conspiracy hhj theory, because why would anyone bother to steal your identity precisely, but in practice this is reality. We refer of course is not someone doing it on purpose, but the tests were conducted - in the case of Yahoo, at least - have shown that new account holders received emails intended for the old to their owners. Among other things, it was miles ISPs, family and friends.
Now, also revealed that Microsoft uses miles belonging to the previous account holder arrived in his mailbox, without the knowledge of the previous owners, forming a lawsuit against the company. After she did not inform users that this method, it appears that the court may award to the detriment of the Redmond giant. These days, it's about the last thing she needs. hhj
I remember this from the burst of the ICQ. In order to achieve a short number six digits instead of nine, he can be found on lists of short numbers whose owners were recorded using Hotmail. Using software was scanning the list and looking for mail accounts were closed. You would then reopen with the same email address and the name Operation Restore Password hhj to ICQ.
