If you click on page seven of list all clans , at least i have been getting a box that says enter your MSN community user name and password. I really don't think this is on the up and up, so DONT do it.. you wern't logged out, and if you did already do it.. log into the real msn and change your password. I've seen this kind of thing before, and it's not good.

I suspect what you are seeing is this :

The 'Hogwarts alumni' clan have a clan logo hosted here :

I don't use MSN, but I suspect this is a bit of file space available to its users - but it requires a log in. (I guess it is blank for everyone else too.) This is all probably related to some passport stuff - which I have to admit, I know nothing about. I therefore do not think it is a security risk - it certainly isn’t for me anyway.

ok, but better safe then sorry... i've seen people steal yahoo passwords doing similar stuff, thats all 🙂 We've had enough identity problems lately here without dealing with id theft 🙂
