1. Microsoft "BetaPlace" Server Penetrated
This past weekend, hackers successfully broke into a Microsoft
development site server handling the company's "BetaPlace" - a place
where multitudes of computer users take part in testing new Microsoft
products.

The hacker(s) who managed to get past the Microsoft dogs did not have
full access but would have been able to fool with beta-tester passwords
and personal email addresses. No specific damage was detected but
nonetheless Microsoft, in response to the breach, has advised its over
20,000 beta testers to change their individual passwords to the
BetaPlace system and is now cooperating in a search for the perpetrator.
