MICROSOFT HAD EYE ON HACKER ALL ALONG, REPORT SAYS Posted at October 30, 2000 06:50 AM Pacific IN ITS EFFORTS to downplay the news that hackers might have compromised source code inside Microsoft's internal network, the software giant is claiming that not only did it detect the hacker early on, it also closely tracked the hacker's movements, according to a news report published Monday. Quoting an anonymous source, the Wall Street Journal said the attack lasted for only 12 days, as opposed to the five weeks initially reported by Microsoft itself. Microsoft was aware of the attack when it began and knew what the hacker was doing all along, according to the newspaper. Microsoft also feels very comfortable that it has enough information to help identify the hacker, the Journal report said.
