MSN site hacked in Korea

Microsoft acknowledged Thursday that <A HREF="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050602/ap_on_hi_te/microsoft_hacked">hackers booby-trapped its popular MSN Web site</A> in South Korea to try to steal passwords from visitors. The company said it was unclear how many Internet users might have been victimized. Microsoft said it cleaned the Web site and removed the dangerous software code that unknown hackers had added earlier this week. A spokesman, Adam Sohn, said Microsoft was confident its English-language Web sites were not vulnerable to the same type of attack.
