Microsoft Press has been defaced this evening by a group named "Outlaw Group". Although the group doesn't seem to have caused much damage, this is clearly an embarassment for Microsoft.com webmasters.
A clear example of where patches need to be applied.

The Benefits
-As a Related Community, your site or service will receive contextually relevant placement (a link and description) on the No. 1 corporate site and fourth largest Web site on the planet (according to Jupiter Media Metrics, 2003).
-You will have the opportunity to engage with a Microsoft Community Lead. A community lead is your personal, direct contact with Microsoft who can help you find answers to difficult questions, learn about upcoming events, and gain more insight into the product life cycle.
-You have the opportunity to include the Microsoft® Related Community logo on your community site or service.
-Your community site has the potential to be promoted to a Featured Community, receiving elevated exposure across Microsoft Web sites with your community site logo, link, and description. This is a great way to bring new traffic to your community site or service.
To Qualify
This program is open to contextually relevant community Web sites that meet all of the following base-level participation guidelines*:
-Predominantly devoted to peer-to-peer community features. Example: Newsgroups, discussion boards, chats, blogs, etc.
-Supports Microsoft products and/or services and technologies
Provides a visible reciprocal link back to the contextually relevant Microsoft community site home page
* If at any time your site does not meet all of these requirements, it may be pulled from the program. Microsoft will not include links to sites with inappropriate language, nudity/sexual content, violence, gambling/drugs/alcohol, etc.
Chill out, be Groovy,

and as of outlaw group, u think they could've had a bit more fun then that, like if I was gonna do something like that I'd put an apology by microsoft for it's lack of security, and some of it's sucky products, and state that Windows Me, was just an evil joke
as for the child porn sites, rather then just take them down whoever is responible for the site should be shot, i've never looked into the subject, but the name sounds like anyone involved in it needs to be taken off the earth
Your the dumb ass.
no, that would be you. ITS YOU'RE
er, no. It's IT'S
Indeed. This is so productive. Losers.

lol @ dougkinzinger, Your about the only person that does it. If I see a post in Bold i usually know its from you. It makes you stand out from the crowd.
Come on, Knight dude, you've always been cool with me. What's your problem today, girlfriend leave you, or did your dog die?
NO, WTF is YOUR problem?!? Do you feel special or something? Do you think you're superior to other people and that's why you bold all your comments? GROW UP!!!
I bet there is only one of em called that
Microsoft must feel most ashamed. If they are to sell me security they must first show me that they know what they are talking about. If they cannot protect their sites, because they are so many then close them down and start from scratch. ...and do it right this time.
Or perhaps this just shows that it isn't all that easy keeping up with all the latest patches and all....
If they were to deface MS's site they could have at least done a better job,

com on.. next time redirect to some linux's page.. or somthing.. maybe tag it with some fancy pictures.. make it play a cool midi sound.. like the one on realultimatepower ...
So smart/creative (well not in this case) but yet they are so stupid they cannot put their talent to good use.....
this was only posted because microsoft is a big name, plain and simple.
STV
lolz
pricks pricks but they didnt harm anything clearly either wanting to gain some kind of """"""respect""""" (ahem right...) or try and get microsoft more worried about their security.
Either way, personally i think it can only be a good thing. From now on, i can bet that hacking a microsoft-related website is going to be much harder than it was before.
Notice the top right of the screen.
How cool, I agree child porn sites should be hacked.
Microsoft should thing more about security, I personally hope Longhorn has much tighter security.
which to make money it does have to have a certain amount of security, but not as much as it should
longhorn will
A. Rock
B. Suck
C. Be like Xp suck on release be decent after 2 years of patches and 2 sp's
