What is Digg?131 Comments
- cybernetic798, on 10/12/2007, -5/+44This headline is so retarded. It just pisses me off completely that someone would say 'good job guys' about hacking only because it is Microsoft. I am not going to start a flamewar about how those who blindly call MS 'evil' or are wrong or whatever, but to condone defacing a site let alone praise it, is retarded.

- wistar, on 10/12/2007, -5/+30These are crackers not hackers.
- ThinkFr33ly, on 10/12/2007, -1/+24Yes, congratulations to the script kiddies that managed to deface somebody's property.
Excuse me while I go shake the hand of the punk that spray painted my condo the other day, and high five the teenager that broke a few pay phones downtown.
Awesome job guys.
Grow up people. - unre4l, on 10/12/2007, -2/+23Congratulations turkish hackers, nice way to associate your country with crime. If I did anything like that, I would keep my nation out of it.
- joeshlub, on 10/12/2007, -3/+18Is this pure flamebait? What are you getting yourself into? This is digg, it isn't cool to like microsoft. In order to use this website you have to have a vile hatred for the entire corporation, but still use xp, ms office, and say that you might use GNU/Linux but it's too much time to change over.
- lat47, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15What am I missing here? Why is this funny?
- chris9902, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17yeah because a Linux server has never been hacked.
arrogant prick. - WackyT, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14It's obvious you haven't the slightest idea of what a firewall is or how it's used, do you? Generally web servers have to be accessible from the internet so they can, now pay attention, serve their content to people on the internet. Now locking down a web server behind a firewall sort of defeats the purpose of that, doesn't it? That is generally why web servers are only running the services and ports open they need to get their job done.
- Jawshy, on 10/12/2007, -9/+22-cough- http://expert.microsoft.fr is "hacked" -cough-
- Ramble, on 10/12/2007, -6/+18Rather than Apple who try and sell (overpriced) ***** like the iPod speakers or some $60 leather case.
- dbpigeon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14Or the one of him modeling on his desk:
http://www.boingboing.net/images/_images_billgates01.jpg - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12They couldn't have been a little more creative? They should have posted that old police mugshot of Bill Gates when he was young!
- nate8, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13Schadenfreude against a company that put personal computing where it is now?
Weak. - MrThi3f, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Not even the true Microsoft France site
- culbeda, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Regardless of whether you like Microsoft, this kind of crap shouldn't be applauded or encouraged any more than someone hacking ubuntu.com, redhat.com, et al.
Unfortunately, this mentality is one of the unfortunate aspects of the negative side of Linux. A bunch of kiddies with an over-inflated sense of self worth. They think they're superior to everyone else because they wasted their time learning something most of us are too busy to bother with or, indeed, care about. (A fancy way of saying that they need to get a life.)
Are you Linux and Apple zealots so jealous of the success of Windows that you cheer every single time anything bad happens to Microsoft? Honestly, it's pathetic! - MrThi3f, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Im suprised no one has blamed the french yet. Can't they do anything right? No just kidding
- darkecho, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13Its not funny. Defacing websites is not funny, it just pisses people off. Im sure if digg got "hacked" with the contents of a page, a whole lot of people would be pissed and not just the digg team. Not sure what everybody is bitching about lately of Microsoft, as they are giving out quite a bit of stuff free. Hell I just got my Visual Studio Standard, and some other stuff from them 100% free, and I didn't even have to pay shipping & handling. Do I run Windows .. Yes. Do I also have a Linux box.. Yes. Im not some M$ fanboy but latley things have been turning around for them. Also its the french. what more can you expect from them :) .. Just kidding.
- nate8, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Good job? What, do you think a few script kiddies from Turkey are "sticking it to the man" by defacing Microsoft's FRENCH site? Whoop-de-doo.
Site defacements are immature and POINTLESS. This will be fixed within an hour or so. - bdawg923, on 11/07/2007, -1/+9Isn't http://www.microsoft.com/france/ the Microsoft France site.
- tdkyo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Regardless who is being hacked (Microsoft, RIAA, MPAA, U.S Government, Google) the headline is endorsing a crime done by no other then some crackers who wanted to make a scene.
- Salin, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Simple issue.
A machine that is not the primary microsoft web presence in france was exploited using a bug that had not been patched. Coulda happened to Apple, a Linux distribution, Newspaper site, Car Manufacturer. It's not something to be proud of.
-1 DIGG for inmature script kiddie antics - radu79, on 10/12/2007, -5/+12I just talked with a Sys admin from France (he doesn't work for MS, or anything), and he pointed out that the http://expert.microsoft.fr/ is not hacked.
He also said that http://experts.microsoft.fr/ seemed to be some sort of MS blog site.
Now, this is still embarassing, but slightly less than if it were the main site.
Imagine if the hax0rs would have actually preserved the actual page, and embed some root kit in it, using one of the many IE exploits..
Or even social engineer people to go and download this new and cool application from MS, which is actually a rootkit. - urs1ne, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Its one thing to not like a company and its another to rejoice at the defacing of it. If you don't like Microsoft just go buy an apple, speak with your dollar!
- estvir, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9tubatechno, that's digg for you.
digg, where having a clue is not welcomed, and being a lemming is, booya ! /sarcasm. ;)
to quote joeshlub:

In order to use this website you have to have a vile hatred for the entire corporation, but still use xp, ms office, and say that you might use GNU/Linux but it's too much time to change over. - shiftt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7yeah the first thing I did was look at the source code, and it really looks like someone put effort into making that page lol proper CSS and indentation... the works.
- Hoopkidups, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9Just in case it dissapears soon: http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/7287/hacked5rn.jpg
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -18/+24" Good job guys" Dude, get a life. Have you got a site? If so do you want me to hack it? Sorry but people like this in my view are idiots, the hacker has no life and well.. I like Microsoft!
- estvir, on 10/12/2007, -20/+26reported as inaccurate.
people are over-playing many of these defacements, pretty much all the time it's just from bad sysadmins not configuring their boxes correctly, seems this is the case too and only a minor defacement.
edit: did some checking up on this, seems it was just a silly xss for a bug which already has a patch available. - Nothlit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Probably because a majority of digg users actually aren't impressed by childish behavior like this, so they reported it and the digg algorithm worked its magic.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7"we need a firefox screengrab mirror of this amzing *****"
^ Why? Just... why? I mean, don't get me wrong, I use firefox and all.. but.. why do you feel the need that a screenshot is insufficient if it displays IE instead? - affanjam, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7I put it on flickr, so if imageshack bandwidth is out.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/affandesign/169690590/ - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5No they aren't racists, they are turkish. Turkey has lots of good but immature hackers and they are always competing with all the other stupid script kiddies, so they focus on mostly on tagging hacked home pages and getting in the news.
- neoknight, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6joffer the guy who submitted this probably knows them, cuz i dont think he was one of the "experts" who goes to experts.microsoft.com. Aleksander Hristov as his profile states.

root@exploits.cx - xutopia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5wait? Did I get this right we have encouragement from Digg to hack Microsoft?
- ThinkFr33ly, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5You doubt Microsoft was hard to get in to? Is that why they "hacked" and obscure french support site instead of www.microsoft.com or something more visible?
Get a clue. Microsoft is *extremely* hard to get in to. These guys got lucky and found an obscure server that just didn't happened to be patched. - usefulidiot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4how did this just disapear from the front page?
- nate8, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5those with "real sklls" don't waste their time defacing experts.microsoft.fr
- nate8, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4it was reported as a bad/stupid link. Digg editing in action.
Don't worry, it's not a Microsoft conspiracy. - jasonsbytes, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6This is dumb...
- diggforecast, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5This is how it used to Look
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://experts.microsoft.fr/
http://web.archive.org/web/*/experts.microsoft.fr/* - nate8, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I'm noticing that all the mature, thought-out posts that say page defacements are bad are getting dugg down,
while all the "m$ r teh suX LINUX RULZ!! THIS IS MY NEW WALLPAPER!" posts are getting dugg up.
What's the world coming to? - nate8, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4@ chandler
That's completely different, and you know it. experts.microsoft.fr was not doing anything illegal or immoral.
What a weak comparison. What point are you trying to make? - neoknight, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7who the heck goes to experts.microsoft.fr anyway
Where do people go on microsoft.com? (what's this)
http://www.microsoft.fr redirects to http://www.microsoft.com/france/

I couldn't agree more. Recently I've seen one of those defacements at the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency). Truly, I can't see how that helps any cause. - edward301, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Ok people 6 mirrors is enough :s
- LilJames, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It does look like Dreamweaver code though (the auto-numbering of styles.)
- seventoes, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3It seems that microsoft.fr forwards to experts.microsoft.fr
