It all sounded so easy: Find somebody's Hotmail e-mail account, type the right Web address into your browser and you could change that account's password to one of your choice. Except that since Hotmail accounts are also "Passport" accounts, you would also get control of the victim's identity across Microsoft's Web network and at such third-party sites as eBay.
I'd thought identity theft was this easy only in the movies.
