Chinese Cheaters Charged With Stealing
State Secrets 06/15/2004 01:05 PM
Over in China a group of students are being charged with theft of state secrets for stealing exam questions for the national college entrance exam. The scam sounds like a bad movie plot, and it's surprising that they got as far as they did with it. A few students went in to take the exam, and then left with the questions (it's unclear how they left and how they took the questions with them). They gave the questions to other students sitting outside who quickly tried to answer the questions, and then send them, via mobile phone text messages, to other students still taking the exam. Students could buy a complete set of answers for about $120 - though, the article quotes one parent complaining that not all the answers were accurate. Next thing you know, they'll start suing.

Guy Who Stole AltaVista Source Code
Working On Search At Microsoft

Guy Who Stole AltaVista Source Code
Working On Search At Microsoft 07/09/2004 03:28 PM
A man who was arrested last week for stealing AltaVista's source code is apparently now working on Microsoft's well publicized search technology efforts. AltaVista, of course, was the original great search engine, before it got confused and decided to "go portal" like everyone else. Apparently, this guy worked at AltaVista, but some time after he left decided he wanted to see how the product had "evolved" and discovered he could still log in to his old AltaVista account. He then downloaded the source code to his home computer. This all happened before he went to work for Microsoft, so the conspiracy theories about Microsoft stealing the code don't apply, but it does raise some questions about Microsoft's search technology.

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-050:
Vulnerability in Microsoft Word and
Microsoft Excel Could Allow Arbitrary
Code to Run (831527) 11/13/2003 12:36 AM
A security vulnerability exists in Microsoft Word that could allow malicious code execution. This vulnerability exists due to to the way Word checks the length of a data value (Macro names) embedded in a document. If a specially crafted document were to be opened it could overflow a data value in Word and allow arbitrary code to be executed. If successfully exploited, an attacker could then take the same actions as the user had permissions to carry out, such as adding, changing or deleting data or files, communicating with a web site or formatting the hard drive.
