Holy cow, that´s really bad news for Microsoft Neobond from Neowin informed me via email, the source code of Windows NT and Windows 2000 has leaked to the web.
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 .
And this leak could be a very big problem around the world.
Read More This is a big shock for the wider IT industry. People could use the code to find exploids or figure out how those Operating Systems work and they maybe could get easily access to anyones PCs and networks.
Windows 2000 and NT is the most used operating system in offices, departments in the industry and gouverments around the world and this leak could be a big security risk. I leave comments open but if we notice any links, sceenshots or other pointing to the code, comments will be closed.
