The Windows Live Hotmail’s lead program manager, Omar Shahine, was in for a surprise when he tried to login to his Windows Live mumbojumbo. An attacker managed to change his password, secret question and in the end deleted his life. He’s complaining about it on his weblog.

An update of the story tells us that his gmail account also got compromised.

Two possibilities I guess, either his password isn’t that secure as he thinks it is. Or he has a keylogger installed on his machine. The latter chance being the most likely. If a keylogger is indeed the root cause of the problem then what kind of anti-virus is he running? And how did he manage to be infected by a keylogger in the first place?
