That's why you need to be careful about what data you store elsewhere; and with cloud computing this is going to become even more important.

Sony was hacked twice last month and personal data for millions of its gaming customers was accessed. If a company like Sony can't protect itself...

One tip for Hotmail is to minimise the number of people in your address book. Not easy if it's your only e-mail program, though.
that is one reason why i will not engage w/cloud computing! and am in the process of backing-up email addys to outside source in order to eliminate them from hotmail acct! it's a great time waster while waiting for a hurricane and still having power!
