Microsoft website hacked.

Apparantly, yesterday, Microsoft's south korean MSN website was hacked. They put "dangerous software code" on the site, and stole passwords. Microsoft doesn't even know who did it!

The strange part is that the korean Microsoft site isn't even owned by Microsoft, but by another company. (Although is it operated by them...)

Read all about it here.

But here's a nice quote from the article.

Microsoft's acknowledgment of the hacking incident was the latest embarrassment for the world's largest software company, which has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to improve security and promote consumer confidence in its products.

The chronology suggests the hackers could have harvested stolen passwords from visitors to the MSN site for up to three days. But their target -- passwords to game accounts -- lessened the significance of the break-in since the hacker software appeared not to collect any network or banking passwords.

Game account passwords?!?! Talk about lame hackers.

What a bunch of morons... You get M$ by the balls and all you go after are game account passwords!?!? Pathetic.
