The leaked code includes 30,915 files and was apparently removed from a Linux computer used by Mainsoft for development purposes. Dated July 25, 2000, the source code represents Windows 2000 Service Pack 1. Sure, Linux had to be behinde it m$???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 I think it is some kind of lying by omission. Most likely it is taken away via human error. A stolen backup, a physical access to the computer, some disgruntled worker upload it him/herself, those kind of things. I will be surprised if someone can steal megabytes of data over the network without someone noticing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmac Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 http://www.guardian.co.uk/microsoft/Story/...1148154,00.html Trouble is the mainstream press portray ms as the victim in a lot of the security scares, which I suppose they are. The danger os MS use this to portray an image of a successful company under attack. open source= unamerican. A cynic might suggets it was deliberate. If it isn't look forward to someone being named as the culprit. http://www.newsforge.com/software/04/02/13...8&tid=82&tid=94 http://www.newsforge.com/software/04/02/13...?tid=132&tid=82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
