Microsoft beta test site gehackt
Een warez-group met de naam iNFLUNCE (of iNFLUENCE) hebben de security servers van BetaPlace van Microsoft gehackt en de hele database met accounts gestolen.
De site bevat alle testversies van Windows inclusief toekomstige te gebruiken code. De hackers hebben geen sourcecode kunnen stelen maar wel wat "buggy" software.
De beta-testers ontvingen het volgende bericht van Microsoft:
