Microsoft computers hacked in a series of recent cyberattacks affecting bigwig tech firms | Austrian Tribune

After a series of cyberattacks having recently affected bigwig tech companies like Apple and Facebook, a late Friday statement by Microsoft has revealed that the company's computers had also been hacked in the same way as the other attacks.

While acknowledging the hacking attack in a Friday published post on the official Microsoft Security Response Center blog, Microsoft hinted that it had made a public disclosure of the hack after being aware of the fact that its employee computers had been compromised for an unspecified period of time.

:p

"We have no evidence of customer data being affected and our investigation is ongoing."

HA HA HA!
They had no clue what was going on.

David Lightman: Hey, I don't believe that any system is totally secure.

General Beringer: Goddammit, I'd piss on a spark plug if I thought it'd do any good!

David Lightman: Joshua called me.
McKittrick: [incredulous] David, computers don't call people!
David Lightman: [shrugs] Yours did.
