Microsoft's site hacked?

The message is "Owned by OutLaw Group"

Why couldn't they hack the main page??

 

[stormbind]

'cause they wanted it to go for more than 2 seconds before ringing alarm bells? I dunno...

It might have been a demonstration to a potential employer.

 

[stormbind]

Or, as just suggested to me... maybe it was a secret message to terrorists?

That took some guts, and of course, SKILL. It's not easy to break into Microsoft. Ergo, the Microsoft site does not run on Microsoft software

Apparently Microsoft do use their own software:

RAW HTTP HEADERS:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Mon, 24 May 2004 20:34:29 GMT
Server: Microsoft-IIS/6.0
...

Of course, they might have faked the headers to confuse hackers.

It looks like they got rid of the "infected" page.

Any idiot can hack into the Pentagon, so MS can't be too hard.
