[QUOTE="net1, post: 20247"] Microsoft's latest security lapse with its Passport information service could trigger a $2.2 trillion fine on the company courtesy of the US government, The Register reports. The Federal Trade Commission last year demanded that Microsoft improve its Passport security or face stiff fines of up to $11,000 per violation. Now the FTC is looking into the Passport breach and could slap Microsoft with a fine of $2.2 trillion to cover all 200 million violated users. A number of people claim to have exploited the flaw on their own accounts and those of friends. [/QUOTE]
