Matt Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 THE MAKERS of the most secure operating system in the world, Microsoft is calling on hackers to try and take down its SP2 version of XP.WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
X-Cannon Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 LOL Microsoft knows that the hackers will try and hack in to their systems and get all their computer info its a scam!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pueo38 Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 Looks to be a 9/11 scenario on SP2 only this time M$ is sending invitations. Who knows what can happen if all the bad guys get together on this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not all hackers are bad or criminals some don't hack into computers to get credit card numbers or black mail people some hackers try to help companies out by finding weak spots in some software etc...

I understand that but when M$ boldly issues an open challenge you know there are those that will try...and try harder. This is akin to erecting a big white guarded wall on main street then invite the graffiti guys to try and tag it. You know some will try. It would have been better if the challenge was not made.

marko_tomas13 Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 wow they are just asking for trouble Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crow Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 Well.. in my opinion.. M$ should prolly get sp2 to work properly first. Some thing else I dont think anyone is thinking about is that M$ all-ready employee's the l337. I mean think about it.. (which by the way yes..this "call" has been made b4) if you had the most widely used OS on the market.. wouldnt you want it to be safe. We prolly dont even get to hear what kinda bad stuff actually goes on, when a hacker gets nailed M$ prolly bails them out on the condition they go to work for them and show them how did it.(yeah.. a little far fetched.. but.. nuttin would surprise me anymore) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikex Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 Group A - M$ employeesGroup B - "Hackers"Both groups very intelligent. A is lead by a mission statement to make money. B is lead by an unwritten statement to find the flaws overlooked by quality control of A. B finds flaws notifies A, A fixes it. Good. B finds flaws exploites it gets caught goes to jail, gets out, gets job offer to find flaws and keep quite. Good. We as consumers need both groups, A for the production of products, B for the quality control of said products. Not all hacking activities are of the destructive manner. Think about it. Most of us screwed up at least one machine in our quest to "fix it", or "tweak it".Granted some people are bad and they do want to do damage. We live in the balance. My opinion.M Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cowsgonemadd3 Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 " They called the titanic unsinkable too." They said that and the captain said"not even God can sink this ship!" You know what? God showed his awesome power and that ship sank! But microsoft taking in all the hackers...there just plain out crazy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
