Exercise caution while subscribing to NDTV RSS Feeds

I had blogged about the NDTV RSS feeds yesterday. NDTV started offering RSS feeds recently and they asked users to provide email ID and password so that a customized RSS feed link can be mailed to the user. Codelust alerts us that if that your feedreader (like Bloglines) offers a publicly viewable subscription list and if your NDTV password matches your email password then this could pose a threat as people can hack into your email account.

Antrix suggests the following feeds for NDTV:-
International News
Business News
National News
Sports News

Please use the above if you are subscribing to NDTV RSS feeds.

Hope NDTV realizes the security threats and offers a simpler subscription option. Otherwise the bloggers / RSS readers need to put up a BIG FIGHT in NDTV style.
