Hello there...last night before sleeping I started exploring some of the free Apps in Apple Store from iPod Touch and I found one interesting app - BlogWriter. I have downloaded and installed it on the way. Once launched for the first time, it asks for your credentials. The interface is simple, try it out and I forgot to mention that this post is from that app!
Well, this is huge! Microsoft’s India online store website has been hacked and all user information which was stored in plain text format without any encryption has also been exposed. It looks like the hacker team got remote access to the whole web server. The main reasons behind this hack are still unknown but from the homepage replaced information, its been predicted that a non well known hacker organization EvilShadow is behind all this invasion. Microsoft pulled out the store page right now and might be working on this to get back the site. The unacceptable thing in all this story is that the software giant stored all the user information including passwords in the database in plain text without any encryption for such online shopping site. Update (as of 11:45 PM Central Time, 2/12/12) – The Microsoft Store India is still currently unavailable to users. To patch up things, Microsoft is asking customers to change their passwords immediately. Full email me...
