Microsoft code leak
Windows 2000 and NT code had leaked out.
----------------------------------------
Source code is the basic language used to create programs. It is extremely valuable because it is similar to the blueprint to any system or design, and is a tightly-guarded secret.
Access to the code could give its competitors a better understanding of how Microsoft's technology works.
Microsoft said it did not yet know the :-D
source of leak, or how many people have access to it on the net, but confirmed it accounted for about 15% of the total code it uses.
//The code has appeared on several underground
websites and net chat rooms.//
It has been widely downloaded across the net and being openly discussed on specialist technology websites.
Microsoft said there was no indication the code leak was a result of a breach of Microsoft's corporate network.(hahahaha)
Instead it seems the leak could be a software developer, but the company has yet to to pinpoint a suspect.
There is concern that hackers who get copies of the code could find it easier to break into systems running Windows software.
But Microsoft said that was unlikely since the code comprised of relatively small proportion of the total source code.
Security experts have said computer users and companies running Windows 2000 and NT should not be concerned about the leaked code at the moment.
"The analogy to use is if someone wants to break into my house, they would not necessarily need a house plan. If they know there was a section of my house that had a window not covered by an alarm, that would make it easier for them."
