Another Microsoft Security Hole -- 8:38 am CST, Update by J.t.Qbe

Yep, believe it or not: this report describes how Microsoft left a customer database openly available via the internet by putting it on an undisclosed IP address and assuming no one would find it. This from the company that wants you to store your personal information on its servers in its .NET future. Right. At very least, the bozo responsible for this latest breach should be fired.

The Master comments: Gosh, another completely idiotic security hole. Heck, this one even violates Microsoft's ENTIRE list of security practices. Oh, and conveniently it also violates their privacy policy. Anyone wanna make a few million on this lawsuit?

A.T. Hun comments: Sniff, sniff. The sweet smell of class-action lawsuits . . .
