Hackers at Microsoft?!?

In August, a blogger using the handle "Techjunkie" started a Microsoft Developer Network blog called <A HREF="http://www.cio.com/article/144202/Hackers_at_Microsoft_Wait_a_Minute...">Hackers@Microsoft</A> that, he claimed, would introduce the world to some of the ethical "white hat" hackers working there.

White hat hackers are security professionals who use many of the same techniques as the bad guys, but who learn how to break into systems for research purposes only. "The focus of this blog is likely to be a little different from most other blogs you'll see on blogs.msdn.com," Techjunkie wrote. Then he went silent for a month and a half. Late Thursday, however, Techjunkie resurfaced, saying that he was dropping the Hackers@Microsoft name.
