Jack Straw, Facebook and his Hotmail account...

Yes Jack Straw (that Jack Straw) is on Facebook, liberal trendy that he is (what do you mean, he's just the oldest swinger in town?).

It's no surprise really since Jack Straw was so clued up on WMD in Iraq that he was similarly confident about combining his Facebook account with a Hotmail one. Jack should have remembered how Facebook trawled his address book as soon as he signed up, without so much as a by-your-leave. And now some Nigerian scammers have done the same.

I suspect that Jack has been relying on his beautiful colleague Harriet for computing security tips. Yes, that Harriet, the one who thought that username 'Harriet' and password 'Harman' would keep her blog safe from the unsolicited ministrations of her Parliamentary colleagues.

Sadly Hotmail is simply long past its best and hopelessly open to hackers; best to avoid.
