CNN Business)Microsoft said Thursday that the suspected Russian hackers behind a massive US government security breach also viewed some of the company's source code. The unauthorized access does not appear to have compromised any Microsoft (MSFT) services or customer data, the company said in a blog post. But an investigation showed that the attackers took advantage of their access to Microsoft's systems to view company code. "We detected unusual activity with a small number of internal accounts and upon review, we discovered one account had been used to view source code in a number of source code repositories," Microsoft said. "The account did not have permissions to modify any code or engineering systems and our investigation further confirmed no changes were made. These accounts were investigated and remediated."

They got busted when the hackers started laughing upon seeing Microsoft source code.

[Boogieman]

Yes, but was MS didn’t say is the Russian hackers viewed the source code and then collapsed in fits of laughter that they couldn’t recover from for several hours.

Idiots!

Your primary owners are in China and you're surprised that your source code has been hacked?!

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

But CHINA having it would be tickety-boo. Riiiiiight!

Well, they should stop keeping it on Windows computers.....................

His main job in life is to write secure code and to protect his code from viruses. He can’t do this. But he can save us all from viruses and change our DNA?

Microsoft says hackers viewed its source code and found nothing of value....

[Bryan24]

They looked at it and decided very quickly that it was bad code.

[Microsoft company’s source code]

{if American then
Covid.MicroChip.Tagging = true &&
Cell.Tower.Tracking = enabled &&
Freedom != Allowed &&
American.Privacy.Gone = Do {Google.Subroutine666} &&
1984.System = enabled}

Repeat while 1 = 0.

[wildcard_redneck]

I am certain that they caught code-herpes as a result.
