Hackers Often Accidentally Send Code to Microsoft

It's OVER 9000... Anyways, poor MS. They have money, but it is a shame that the hackers force them to spend a small amount on the website, rather than the actual products.

Small, but still there.

no it's UNDER 9000.

7000-9000 to be precise.
 
I'm not that familiar with coding. But surely one physical execution of an attack code unleashes multiple attempts (hacks) sequentially . So that's not to say 9000 people are attacking them. MS is a big target. And when you are that big, you will catch a lot of rounds.
 
But why? Who would want to attack good ol' Microsoft? Oh wait, maybe all existing Xbox Live members after the recent increase in price... Suckers.

Even if it was 'Hackman' many people in the security field today are people who were well known for hacking, and hence got several job requests because of their obvious skills. Granted it wouldn't make for a very good public image, but it seems like people at MS do what they want. Cough *Ballmer* Cough 😉
 
Lol such noobs only an idiot would build scripts and other code on their main machines instead of using a junker to develop the code on. Once done find an unprotected connection to upload the package and grab a mountain dew then kick back and watch the show. Think new and far outside the box for something that keeps them on their feet. The only way to make them earn a few nickles that you spent on games for your x360 and bloatware for your Mac/PC.
 
"People have sent us their virus code when they're trying to develop their virus and they keep crashing their systems," Rocky Heckman said. "It's amazing how much stuff we get."

that needs to be fixed, MS should just have code built into the OS where they can just lock out any microsoft specific MS software (MS-OS/MS-games/MS-office) that the hacker is using and a following pop up should appear when that happens to " please contact microsoft at ph# 1-888..."
and while the jerk is trying to get their software unlocked on the phone have the local authorities swing by and pick up the jerk and his comp for and nail the guy to the wall for breaking the lisc. agreement for starters, just to make it legal while they question the jerk & search the jerk's comp for evidence. it would certainly fix all the noobs and cut down on the problem probably by 1/2, more important it would leave a record of who does what and a way to track them down if they continue that bad behaviour later on. rather big brotherish, but talk to president hoover about it, 'cuz that's how the FBI rolls and other countries are alot worse. code writing is very descriptive, just as any ones finger prints are, what we say and how we say it/do it in writing things down is pretty identifiable to the trained eye. the FBI already uses computer software to track down key phrasing in letters and email, adapting it to code reading would make things easier.

i know there's going to be alot of hate comming for saying this, but 'MALICIOUS hackers' are just slightly below murderer's and pedo's in my book. hacker's that mess with things just to see how they work and fix something to work, or work better; aren't a dangerous problem, but the ones that mess with monentary accounts or say jack up the power grid or military stuff.....GGRRRRRrrrr!
