##
Neowin has learned of shocking and potentially devastating news. It would
appear that two packages are circulating on the internet, one being the
source code to Windows 2000, and the other being the source code to Windows
NT. At this time, it is hard to establish whether or not full code has
leaked, and this will undoubtedly remain the situation until an attempt is
made to compile them. Microsoft are currently unavailable for comment
surrounding this leak so we have no official response from them at the time
of writing.

This leak is a shock not only to Neowin, but to the wider IT industry. The
ramifications of this leak are far reaching and devastating. This reporter
does not wish to be sensationalist, but the number of industries and
critical systems that are based around these technologies that could be
damaged by new exploits found in this source code is something that doesn't
bare thinking about.

We ask that for the wider benefit of the IT community that members and
readers support Microsoft by forwarding anything they know about the leak to
the Microsoft's Anti-Piracy department.

Update: Microsoft's Tom Pilla has confirmed the leak stating: "Today we
became aware that incomplete portions of Windows 2000 and NT 4.0 source code
was illegally made available on the Internet"

Please do not post any links/screenshots/hints or anything to do with the
source code outbreak. Discussion is allowed but we will not condone people
spreading this source code.

same with windows.
