Hackers intent on Microsoft to send malicious code

Hackers also have careless time, for example, they will inadvertently write their own various viruses, trojans, malicious program source code "active" sent to Microsoft.

Rocky Heckman, senior security Architect at Microsoft, Heckman that malicious code is often sent to Microsoft when hackers write viruses that cause their systems to crash.

When a Windows system crashes, users generally see a pop-up window that alerts you to sending an error report. Windows asks if you would like to send the details of the error-including the malicious program code-to Microsoft, and interestingly, many people will choose to send the error report.

' You can't imagine how much content Microsoft has got, ' says Heckman. Heckman at the Tech.ed 2010 conference that the number of attacks against Microsoft's website is huge, and Microsoft knows which type of attack is most frequent, including cross-site scripting and SQL injection. Hackers always start with the Microsoft website practiced, microsoft.com average of 7,000 to 9,000 times per second attack.

Heckman that two major causes of cross-site scripting and SQL injection attacks have been prevalent over the past 6 years. First, hackers are very adept at both approaches. Second, developers are often too lax on guard.
