The security breach, which took place over a six-day period beginning August 12, involved a shopping server that was part of the Microsoft Network in Europe, as well as scores of workstations and servers located overseas, he says. A list of the vulnerable machines was provided to Newsbytes by the anonymous intruder, a self-proclaimed white-hat hacker who uses the nickname "Benign." http://www.newsbytes.com/news/01/169408.html
