I was using firefox and I went to check my email. I logged into msn and and I clicked on the hotmail link and I was redirected to a sign in page that had me put my password in again. Previously I had checked the box that said to automatically sign in. I was a little confused about that, but I put my password in again. Then later today I went back to check my mail and the same thing happened again, so I was a little suspicous. I then clicked on "My MSN" and then clicked on the hotmail link from there and I was taken to directly to my in box???? I read recently that there is an issue with fake pages that you can be directed to and I thought this might be one? WTF

It doesn't sound like a fake page to me, as long as you're actually typing into the address bar the legitimate Microsoft address. There is a new way to spoof domains with international characters, but that would only apply if you went to a corrupt site and then accessed the Microsoft site.
