I am a little bit skeptical that my Microsoft log in pass word has been exposed.

Hackers may be able to get my screen name or Hotmail account name.

But, direct Hacker access to log in pass words at Microsoft? I am skeptical.

Earlier reports on this massive hack said it involves a Third Party vendor.

If that is the case, than your MSFT log in password is probably completely safe.

By the way...

Microsoft Edge continuously scans the Dark Web for pass words.

If they see one of your archived passwords for sale, they immediately alert you by email.

3specially when a company cpuld poten5ially be sued into bankruptcy if their lack of protection causes massive damages- maybe companies are somehow protected from suits, but i dont see how- perhaps though their excuse is “users shluld know the inherant risks associated with online use, ie buyer beware.
