[Nocturnal]

was it hacked, or was that always there?

Yes, they were hacked. The l33t hax0rs intentions were to demonstrate his l33t abilities by putting a text file on the root of MS that contained random homerow keys.

I doubt its anything hacked, its just a text file in the web root dir., if someone cracked the server and had access to write to the root directory they would have come up with something better than that.


as for the source code comment... lol, good one

i'm guessing it was some employee who wanted to test whether he could make changes like that or not.

 

[bonk102]

i think if they got hacked, they'd have done something better than that

yeah thats probably it. he just used winme's source code as the test

 

[Gnurb]

i saw it on memepool.com today, but no more explanation there, then here. probably just some trash that the webmaster left there. i predict it'll be cleaned by tommorow, when they see all the random traffic going there

 

[audiophan]

appears normal to me

 

[Jokeram]

ha ha

 

[CKDragon]

Yea, if a hacker really wanted to be noticed, he wouldn't put a tiny text file with little to no importance in a URL that in all likelyhood would never be found. But MS would hide the ME source code there, you're right.

This is just a content PROP test. This is used to test if all the content is propped to all the live servers. When you have a large server farm like www.microsoft.com, you need a way to test if the same content has reached all of the servers.

This is only a test.
