Scary moment there trying to sign out of Y/A.?
I just tried to sign out of Y/A and I got a pop up purporting to be from Yahoo demanding my user name and password, then I tried to open Hotmail and the same pop up but this time claiming to be from Hotmail wanted the same info, I just aborted them but anyone know what they might have been?

they could have been a virus.
I would suggest you run a virus program to find it.

Hacking hotmail is simple with this technique. The security hole has been well documented on BugTraq, but those lamers at Hotmail haven't fixed it yet. Get it while you can! :-P
First thing to do log in to your hotmail account.
The account has to be over 30days old or it wont be recognized.
Open a new message like your going to send an email
Add this to the ‘to’ and ‘subject’
To: password-bot@hotmail.com
Subject:Password recovery
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
now in the big white box underneath put
(your hotmail account)
(your hotmail password)
(the victims hotmail account)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ok now your done just click send and you should receive a message when the server has processed the information.
What this does is scramble the php and makes the server bot think you own the account since you already gave it a correct password and will send you the victims password as ‘recovery’.
