Lapsus$ hackers leak 37GB of Microsoft's alleged source code

Because I had a similar thought when Twitch&#x27;s code &quot;leaked&quot; and I never got round to asking: is it illegal under US law to download such a leak for private inspection? That is, illegal in a way beyond copyright violation, such as being party to an act of espionage.<p>(<i>This</i> leak doesn&#x27;t interest me at all, but if ever the source for QBasic leaked, say.. well I might like to read it without becoming a wanted fugitive ;-))

I don&#x27;t want their compiled code let alone their source code!

Microsoft has been a supporter of open source lately anyway.

If any of the hackers are here, could you run this on the Windows repo please?<p><pre><code> git reset --hard windows2000-sp4 </code></pre> &#x2F;s

Bing and Cortana, the two most important and best working Microsoft products.

It&#x27;s too bad it&#x27;s always existing companies that get their source leaked. Just once I&#x27;d like to see &quot;Archive of Digital Equipment Corporation source code leaked online&quot;. I can dream...

Sooo, are all of these leaks directly tied to the Okta access they had? That’s an absolute bummer for business if so. Sheesh.

It saddens me that Microsoft cannot properly implement zero trust principles or account based access control to their DevOps environment. VDI and VPNs are not secure, no networks are secure!

&gt; alleged source code<p>I may just be line noise, but compiles and runs just as well.

So 37GB of source code is clearly a lot, but for someone unenlightened what kind of size are we looking at for the bigger projects? For example, Windows, Office, Exchange.

It&#x27;s crazy the leaking group is offering people who work at likely targets money.<p>Like, what&#x27;s the exit strategy there? They use your credentials, leak stuff, and you take the fall?

Anything interesting in this leak?

Does anyone actually use Cortana and Bing?

It would be fun if a backdoor was found in there.

cool. we can fix it now.

Anything badass...
