Microsoft France Site Defaced, Microsoft.com Next? A Major embarassment for Microsoft

[Lyon2 0]

Microsoft France site Defaced, Defacers say Microsoft.com Site is next site to be defaced/cracked!

Can you beleave the arrogancy of this crackers, to say that the next site they are going to crack/deface is the https://www.microsoft.com/de-de site, this is really a major embaressement for microsoft, especially when microsoft is at war with google.

Just imagine, if the microsoft site can be hacked, which is supose not to happen, never, the same trust for their programs will be at stake, at least for many millions of people that are paying atention to technology and security as one.

Now, are they going to crack/deface the Microsoft.com website?! I bet they are, i bet they will, i hope they succed, perhaps this way they start considering thinking to increase their programs and operative systems security, as everyone knows, security is not an issue, is not a n important issue for their projects, at least that is what i think.

Look at what the turkish defacers group left on the microsoft.fr website:


The defacer/cracker turkish group name: TiTHacK

The defacement:

well didn't it happen quite sometime back , also it doesnt compromise microsofts programs in any way , this is just an example of the server being vulnerable ,not the site or its coding ,remember everyone makes mistakes so why not just big names

Yes, but everyone knows microsoft programs and programming languages and operative systems are almost 100% insecure, it is a fact, and the fact that this happen is just another way of proving i and millions are right on what we think about the all microsoft stuff.This was because a vulnerabilitie of the IIS 6 version of their web server, another one of already hundreds of them, there are tons of exploits for IIS servers, for any version, and that does not happen with other web/local servers out there, free or pay servers, at least not that many exploits to use.Microsoft is a well known target by most defacers and crackers, but google is too, and i don't see google technology to be cracked many times, just once and a while, and this is just to give you an example.

Notice the: "and i don't see google technology to be cracked many times"

 

How many times has this happened to Microsoft?

How many times has it happened to Google?

 

From what your saying, it sounds like you said Google has been cracked multiple times...

and I only see one report of them cracking Microsoft.

 

And from that, it sounds to me like you have a bias against Microsoft?

 

There are more questions and facts to be said before you can jump to a conclusion.

I didn't said google has been cracked many time, au contraire:"and i don't see google technology to be cracked many times"Plus, i don't have anything particular for microsoft, only that they don't care about security in their products.But just for you to know, there are thousands of people out there that hate microsoft and their products, undreds of anti-microsoft groups, and they have logical and reasonable reasons.

Hahahaha, that's funny that Microsoft got hacked! The Turkish hacker group seems familiar to me. *goes and checks own site's security*

[Saint_Michael 3]

yeah but if you look at the list most of those site are chump sites maybe a few big sites but not many.But really you think micrsoft will get hacked HA!! i only can imagine what stuff they have that no one knows about and that only their elite control and most likely get paid thousands not to say anything maybe millions.but of course i could be wrong due to the fact that a elite hackers website got hacked but of course that's because of crappy server admins.

Although they dare hack Microsoft, Microsoft would probably spend 100s of millions of dollars on lawyers and techies and corrupt officials and judges just to get them a very VERY hard penalty...

[Panzer 0]

This happened months ago...Still pretty funny though lol. I wonder when hackers or crackers will see a real need to go after google products now that theyre on the big stage.

[Lyon2 0]

I don't think Dooga, wireless technology and laptops make made crackers impossible to be cought by cybercops or other crackers working for security companies, even if they spend thousands of dollars trying to track a connection established by a laptop, even if that laptop is in constant movement, for instance, in a car, it would be almost impossible to get a specific location of the where abouts of the laptop, that because it it is in constant movement.It is almost... not impossible, of course, but i doubt a intelligent cracker let him be cought!

This is very true. If you go into a Cyber Cafe or anyone else with Wi Fi or are inside a car there is no way they can trace you, unless your stupid and do something on the internet that can give the police your identity.

I just hope that they dont turn microsoft downloads into viruses. Oh my gosh they havent have they. If they come on here they might read it and realise i have given them a new idea. OOPS well never mind. But its gotta be pretty hard to break through security on microsoft next time it could be BBC or something even bigger like google or yahoo. It would be funny but annoying!

[Artem ZHI 0]

Microsoft defaced? Its very fun! I wanted this. LOL.TNX, very good news!

[Panzer 0]

Good news for the Apple and Linux fans though lol.Its so weird, youd think Microsoft would have tip top security.Im not an expert on US law but could people sue microsoft if they download viruses hidden as security updates?
