De ser verdaderamente el código íntegro, como se insinúa en algunos foros como Slashdot.com y han dicho algunos expertos, el efecto para Microsoft sería devastador. En los foros se explica que hay multitud de gobiernos e instituciones que disponen del código fuente, tras haber sido entregado por Microsoft. Hasta que no se haga un análisis de código completo, circunstancia que puede tardar días, no se puede saber si realmente estamos el "source code" completo Windows NT y Windows 2000. A esta hora Microsoft está investigando cómo el paquete que circula, de 203 megas comprimidos (660 megas expandidos), ha podido llegar a las redes de Internet. El software está circulando en redes P2P e IRC.
La noticia publicada por Neowin, dice textualmente: "Neowin has learned of shocking and potentially devastating news. It would appear that two packages are circulating on the internet, one being the source code to Windows 2000, and the other being the source code to Windows NT. At this time, it is hard to establish whether or not full code has leaked, and this will undoubtedly remain the situation until an attempt is made to compile them. Microsoft are currently unavailable for comment surrounding this leak so we have no official response from them at the time of writing.
This leak is a shock not only to Neowin, but to the wider IT industry. The ramifications of this leak are far reaching and devastating. This reporter does not wish to be sensationalist, but the number of industries and critical systems that are based around these technologies that could be damaged by new exploits found in this source code is something that doesn't bare thinking about. We ask that for the wider benefit of the IT community that members and readers support Microsoft by forwarding anything they know about the leak to the Microsoft's Anti-Piracy department.
