Seems like horse shit to me. In one of the screen shots they purport to show bill gates password for the bgf. it's "billgatesfoundation" as if bill gates was dumb enough to use that as his password for anything.
Dont make the standard mistake of giving killers credit.
Go look up how BTK killer was caught Untouchable, untraceable, then sent a taunting message on a floppy disk tagged to his CHURCH COUNCIL computer. Arrogant. Devious. Sure.
But stupid! (And have to brag bc they have no internal sense of accomplishment)
Criminals are stupid or they"d earn more being honest.
Don't arrogant of course he's smart. He was a CEO of one of the largest tech companies in history. His password is definitely not that simple. Think man.
I'm pretty sure that as the CEO of Microsoft he received weekly if not daily briefings on the latest security flaws & they have some of the best hackers penetration test their security every update pretty sure including their email servers & his. If his password was that easy than they would had found out long time ago and told him to update it. We need to be careful for misinformation with its purpose to distract us and lead us to a non existing rabbit holes
The info about it was released yesterday, it probably happened last week if not weeks ago. I find all the "honeypot" and passwords couldn't be that simple arguments to be quite funny and ignorant. Working in IT as an engineer/admin for 25 yrs, I can tell you for a fact people do stupid shit. They are lazy with passwords, security, installations, and that isn't referring just to users, that is having to fix things other admins/engineers have done or haven't. For example, back in the day when I was forced to admin a windows NT network though being a unix guy, we would run l0phtcrack to check peoples passwords, and they were just as bad then as they are now. Until that day, someone gets caught using bad passwords, they will use 123123123 or superman, or wtf ever is easiest to remember -- all the stories about post it notes, under the keyboards, birthdays, etc, I have seen nearly all of them. Good security requires that the admins/engineers do the job correctly, lock down everything, least privilege, good password policy, MFA, and the list goes on. Not going to get into a linux vs windows debate b/c I really don't care what others opinions are and I am not a linux engineer anymore, but quite honestly linux/unix security out of the box is better than windows, though if you know what you are doing even windows can be locked down fairly decently.
So yes, hacking into some of this stuff isn't as hard as people make it out to be, social engineering, looking for the laziness and stupidity of others cuts down on the time required to compromise a system or a network. If you want a good hacking story, read "The cuckoo's egg" by Cliff Stoll
Is this hack real? At the moment I have no reason to suspect not. Is it fake, possibly, but to generate that amount of random stuff that makes sense would take some serious scripting and programming, plus how much of this have you heard on the lame stream media??
i still havent seen crap on this

Just rich and connected to mafia.

Ceo no more....he didn't invent shit either. Given a company.
Wrong bill is highly intelligent.
I always get revenge, and I always make sure people DONT know about it.
Have a little patience. They literally just got a mountain of stuff, and not all of it is relevant. Takes time to sift through.
The hack was yesterday, correct?

Thanks for the heads up on that, I also say that a bunch of Wiki Leaks was dumped online. Is this just the Leaks from before or is this all new?
