No, that was an article about the 'HoneyNet' project that was used as 'disinformation', Clinton-style. It was put here by an MS worker.
That was a 3 year old known bug that was patched quite a while back.
The machine was a 'honeypot' machine, left unpatched with an old known exploit to catch a hacker on purpose. Which it did.
There was a thread here that provided all the relevant links . . .
The actual point of the article in my mind is that hackers target other OS's every day, disproving the theory that MS has so many exploits because hackers target it.
