Data security and privacy in Windows Live

Windows Live is entrusted with safekeeping the email, contacts, photos, documents, and more that over 500 million people bring to our services each month. Today is worldwide Data Privacy Day, and we’re observing it by focusing on a critical way to help keep your data private: protecting it from account hijackers.

Over the last year, we have made significant investments in this area, and we are honored that the European security and safety organization TüV Trust IT Corp. awarded its Seal of Trusted Email Service to Hotmail, making us the first US-based web mail service to receive the seal. In the same month, Fox Business ranked Hotmail as the #1 email service for safety and security. While we’re excited to receive this feedback, we know that this is an ongoing battle against hijackers that demands our continued focus, and we will work relentlessly to keep you safe. We think of this in three parts – joining forces across the industry to pool our resources, blocking abuse algorithmically, and giving customers tools to stay in control.
