  Passport Glitch Hits Microsoft Game Site
Time: 19:51 EST/00:51 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Julien Jay

Microsoft's online gaming site suffered another glitch in its switch to the Passport identification system, logging subscribers on to a bogus Hotmail e-mail account Monday. A Microsoft representative said Tuesday that the glitch affected those who tried to access their Hotmail account via links on The Zone, the game portion of Microsoft's MSN online service. Instead of being taken to their own account, people were sent to a test account for "customer!@hotmail.com." Although the error didn't expose Hotmail account information to others, messages erroneously sent from the "customer!" account could be read by others. The Microsoft representative said the company was notified of the glitch Monday and fixed it shortly afterward.
