Microsoft’s support forum hacked

Filed under: Aviran Mordo @ 10:37 am

Last Friday, Microsoft Israel’s support forum was hacked by a hacker that goes by the nickname G.
The hacker replaced most of the posts in the forum with its own message saying: “This Was Hacked By G Again Bad Admin“.
Up until today, Microsoft’s support forum was operated using a third party platform, which got hacked in the past.

Microsoft response: “This morning Microsoft Israel has completed the transition of the support forum from the third party platform to its own platform, thus overcoming the security problem existed in the previous platform”.

As of now the site redirects the users to the new support forum
