Ooops!? I mean what can a person really say about this other than this was an epic failure on Microsoft's part. Either through hubris, lack of oversight, or just good plain old incompetence of management the Chinese have the keys to the castle. This really highlights the inherent weakness of proprietary software solutions and (in)security through obscurity. This is why everything I do that is not related to my job as a Windows desktop support engineer is going to be on open source.
