Microsoft krallt sich Zugangsdaten: Achtung vor dem neuen Outlook
www-heise-de.translate.goog
external-link
Das neue kostenlose Outlook ersetzt Mail in Windows, später auch das klassische Outlook. Es schickt geheime Zugangsdaten an Microsoft.

Sorry I don’t have an english version of this article, this is the best source I could find for it.

      Yeah I am open to anyone who can prove this wrong/correct. I saw it and thought it needs sharing. I am more than willing to ask forgiveness afterwards :-) Luckily I too only use Thunderbird.
