    There was a Register article on this earlier today.

    Apparently the MS homepage itself wasn't hacked, a redirect hosted by a third party (presumably an ISP) was hijacked to give the illusion of a home page hack.

    Still ... must be a few red faces where ever the vuln was :rolleyes:

    "Hackers" (since these guys aren't really) always have retarded names

    It didnt strike me a redirect - i appreciate that .ie redirects to the main site. Seemed to be sitting in the ie domain. Either way a bit red faced.
