The stuff I read was (as is typical for most news outlets) quite vague. Reporting what 'experts' assumed was done, but no details about how.
Gaining offsite access would explain a lot, though.
Absolutely incredible security holes all over the place, whatever the explanation.
Any source that was stolen has to be sent out somehow.
Did they email source code out? Wouldn't someone have noticed massive emails being sent? Seems unlikely.
Would the development machines be connected directly to the net?
Unlikely (at least, not in a sane organisation), therefore somewhere along the line a firewall would (ok, should) have been in the way.
I'm assuming that there are some halfway intelligent people at MS.

The reports I've seen say code may have been stolen. They say that the Qaz trojan may have been the way the crackers gained entry.
But I've heard/read nothing definitive. The whole thing screams 'inside job' to this clueless luser.
For easy karma, does anyone have facts?
For example, how did the crackers get around the (OpenBSD?) firewalls?

this is the most pathetic whoring i've ever witnessed.
Female geek?
There can be only one.
Alas! :(
It was not stable for long. It worked for some minutes then it stopped my Quake. I had to force reboot with the reset.
Still needs work
for my Voodoo 3.
Soon I can remove Windows!
