"TechWeb Report" June 13 news, according to foreign media TechCrunch reported that former Microsoft employee Alex Kibkalo caused by leaking Win8 code in prison, not only to jail three months to pay 100 U.S. dollar fine. Alex Kibkalo, a former employee of Microsoft, has received widespread attention because of his criminal nature and how he was caught. Kibkalo leaked the code to a French blogger, and Microsoft found the source of the leak by investigating its account. Microsoft did not break the law because it could check the data on its own servers.
