No one hacked microsoft for this. This is a sematic attack and is old
news by now.
Look at the URL where is the hostname? Not microsoft.com the address is
195.224.253.26. THis was a pretty crappy one at that. The ip address is
a little more covert when it is in hex. Shame on you for spreading such
a dumb rumor...
For more information on semantic attacks look at the Crypto-Gram from
OCTOBER:
