Microsoft orders security audit after Hotmail breach

Microsoft revealed today that it is turning to an outside auditor to test the security of its free email service, Hotmail, after a breach was discovered last week that threatened its users' privacy.

Microsoft pulled Hotmail offline for about two hours August 30 after two European Web sites alerted the company that any Net user could access any Hotmail account without a password as long as a user's name, commonly found in a Hotmail email address, was known.
