Hackers: Microsoft had another source code leak
  • In an update from its Security Response Center, Microsoft says that hackers were able to “view source code in a number of source code repositories,” but that the hacked account granting such access didn’t have permission to modify any code or systems.

    The company says that it regularly assumes adversaries are able to view its source code, and does not rely on the secrecy of source code to keep its products secure.

    Of course it is total lie, as different parts of source code have different privileges, where even top companies or states (except US) can not see some parts of code despite public claims of opposite. Another parts of code intentionally go through special AI based scramblers that makes is very hard to read or understand for humans.

    And of course it is Mordor hackers who are "responsible", Btw, as Mordor hacker I fully support total hack of all corporations and demand total 24/7 openness of source code.

  • So you demand a privately owned code to be free. But they worked their ass of to make it private, make it work, pay employees, pax taxes, make it a good tool, earn it and can charge whatever they like as the free market allows it, and you demand to be free. At least earn it by hacking it. Though, I don’t recommend you to support such activities in a public forum... I have learned.

    Well, I am for capitalism destruction. Also all scary stories of "worked their asses" is bullshit, as around 90% of profits go to people who have nothing to do with development, 80% of developers in this firms do various bullshit, like rewriting perfectly fine code to add new security holes or adding new interface that is 10x slower and 5x worse in design. 20% of good developers could find much better place even if capitalism won't fall instantly.

  • One simple question @Vitaliy_kiselev

    Seems to me you don’t like people who can earn a lot of money per operation. It’s that wrong?

    Do you have a company with employees? Or you make all your work alone?

  • @endotoxic

    I don't like money at all, any money. Communists are against money of any form, as well as any market.

    During socialism transition communists are for equality. It means that people who live in same region and have same amount of children will earn same amount of money (and each year it'll be more distribution and less money), be it lowest grade worker or director. Any inequality leads to capitalism, always, as next generation of people who earn more get real measurable advantages.

    So, yes at first destruction stages of capitalism we aim at capitalists and their top servants. So first will loose all their means of production and second will loose all their privileges and extra money.

  • So you run a business and don’t have any employees.

    Yet you dislike the concept of money but you live on it I assume for survival.

    Then, you’ll never understand the hard work that any business man has to do day after day dealing with people like you that work cos need, not cos like. Bringing a business a front an afloat is very demanding, its sometimes very frustrating more so when you have employees that although you contracted are very diferente from what you thought.

    Developing a movie or a commercial is very demanding and a hard work for not everyone, programming is also very demanding and speciality work. You as a hacker know that, what I don’t understand is the hypocrisy’s from your fundamental flaw that is like yea yea i hate this and love that but a live in this so I use it but hate it!!

    You should be living in forest not selling deals from any company and stay true to your word, but it’s not happening isn’t it?

    At the end you are also a business men with another perspective trying to live under something that will not happen. The reality of democracy and capitalism is that even the crazy concepts that you have about earning a living can run under umbrella.

    In fact you are do in it right now. :-) where is PV snow!!!! You promised

  • So you run a business and don’t have any employees.

    I did not say that I run business.

    Yet you dislike the concept of money but you live on it I assume for survival.

    Using money in capitalism, while understanding their evil, for communist is normal.

    Proposing not to use money at all during capitalism is stupid.

    Yet I try to minimize any capitalist things, if you noticed PV never had any ads, actually it is only site in the industry doing such.

    You should be living in forest not selling deals from any company and stay true to your word, but it’s not happening isn’t it?

    No, as I said - it means that you will be idiot.

    Communists are not for abolishing money or not using them during capitalism, they are for transforming social system and then abolishing money.

    Hope it is clear.

  • We have snow here in germany as of today :-)
