A company sting operation earns a Connecticut man two years in prison for selling secret Windows source code for $20 after it leaked onto the internet.

"Nobody was ever arrested for leaking the secret source code for parts of the Windows operating system in 2004, but a hacker who sold a copy online afterward was sentenced to two years in federal prison Friday."

"Genovese ran a popular hacking-oriented community website called IllMob.org in February 2004 when two 200-MB files containing incomplete portions of the source code for the Windows 2000 and Windows NT operating systems hit the internet, flooding dodgy websites and peer-to-peer networks like some hard-core geek version of the Paris Hilton video."

The company has long maintained that the source code to Windows and other products are its crown jewels, and that making the code public could cause serious harm by stripping it of trade-secret status, and allowing competitors to duplicate the functionality of Microsoft software.

The company has also expressed fears that making its source code public could allow hackers to find security holes in Microsoft products -- though, so far, intruders are doing fine without the source.


Ah love it. Seriously I'd start a poll asking who here has the leaked code, but not the Paris video :lol:

Unlucky to that guy. Trying to make profit.. sucked in.

I thought it was gonna be one of those 'Yeah kid, you broke into our servers, want a job with us? We will fly you over'.

Kid gets on plane, turns up to airport with 4 armed men with handcuffs and take him away.

But I guess not.

"ccgl = noobville and most admins are retards" hey brett roflmao

go netstation forums my advice

and make sure you can handle some rubish talk when you talk rubish about others. dont cry, its a game, have fun ! :P

im sick of you 17yr old noobs posting here and talking . about ccgl behind its back,

go hang somewhere else if you dont like us here, stop abusing ppls in forum posts etc if they make a joke and you dont understand the joke, next time just ask for explanation and stop talkign it up like you some ccgl pro veteran cause you arent and have won 0 comps so far so dont go call others . and to old for the game and scene esp when you cant beat the guy yourself (me) , I laugh at you and your stories and its time you shut up and moove on, i have 3 years more experience at this game then you and at serious higher level, plus i dont cheat online unlike you brett , who got busted in GA etc not long ago (we all know btw ROFL)

anyway, get some clue stop your smart talk and others might do the same to you.

Excuse me phil, I don't believe I have ever said anything that you have mentioned in the above post.

What's with the attitude change?
4:20PM you're saying I should be President.
4:22PM you're telling me to get f'd.

I'd rather you take this matter to Private Message, or act your 26 year old age and not rage up on MSN Messenger and block me. If you would like to talk, do it in a mature age, as fellow 26 year olds would.

I'm not going to continue this conversation here. As i mentioned, if you have something to say to me, lets discuss it over MSN.

Thanks Phil, and Moderators. (I would prefer this post not gets deleted please).

Cheers.

im 30 , is there a problem ?? :D
started cs when i was 24, 6 years now of lan/online gaming for me, never lost a comp on the central coast, only lost in sydney once came snd @ sgl and 1st @ landag ( rofl @ barry(zT) carry me back then fair bit btw) and recently came snd at the GA finals (biggest online comp) playing myself! and beating clans like fzer0, so guess i just dont want to give that up, not even on the age of 30, me and barry prob play cs till the age of 80 , no SHT!

i know some older players btw on the coast, then again im prob the only pro 30 yr old :P

i think bretts jalous or somesht , tries calling me cheat etc says like i dont trust you online etc, meanwhile ive been going to ccgl for like 3 years now and winning comps , never lost and abuses me over a xplicit joke thats what this all started over, wants me to unblock him from msn talk about it etc, why should i ?? after he abuses me for no reason and gets busted with cheats himself from GA, JOKE really, over this keyboard hero stuff, dont like it much for some reason.

I'm here to hang with cool guys , not losers who need to abuse ppls and the joke is not even pointed at them , just dumb, brett get over it and I am NOT going to unblock from msn, cbf to lazy , maybe next week, for now punishment :P

Yes, you are extremely immature and should be thinking about settling down and having kids and a wife, not staying up past you're 8pm bed time and playing a computer game.

It's jealous, im half your age and know that. I've never called you a cheat, you went so bad in the GA finals there is no point in trying to make you sound good and call you a cheat Phil.

If I remember correctly, I made a joke in a PhatLan2 thread saying I was the best 1.6er at CCGL, and from then on you're 30 year old ego took over. Me caught cheating on GA? What are you talking about? All my steam accounts work, one got banned for using the exploit in getting CSS in the early days when it was BETA.

I would of preferred it to be taken to PM/MSN/IRC, but you seem to not want to co-operate, instead you wanna be the "keyboard warrior" you keep calling me and posting in a public thread displaying your views.

To be totally honest, and to the point.. You're not worth the worry. You are almost double my age, and seem to act as a newbie to lanning with posts a 12 year old who has never been to a LAN before would say.

I think it's time personally for you to grow up, and stop making false accusations and act your age. Honestly, you are a 30 year old man.

Picking on 16 year olds over an online game because you got totally smashed and made you're team loose the biggest online tournament in Australia doesn't mean you should take it out on me Phil.

Punch a few punching bags, lift a few weights.. eat some food.. get a wife and make some kids. Life moves on.

Thank you, drive through.

I thought you did get at least a temp ban @ ga didnt you?

in any case I'm pretty sure abe does/is doing at least one of the things on your list (eating food :lol: )
