Shhhhhhhhh. Don't tell them. Oh great, now the cats out of the bag. Every skr1ptz k1dd13 around will be asking us for Excite mail hacks now. I suppose Excite and Hotmail are in competition now. ;)
DOOOH...someone please slap me....!
I was checking out their demo and I saw this and thought it was funny
People asking how to hack hotmail accounts must be a plauge of the net.Quote:
To avoid stupid questions : this does NOT work with HOTMAIL accounts.
