Microsoft India Hacked – Users Warned To Change Password Immediately

Frequenters of India’s online Microsoft Store were briefly greeted with the suspicious visage of a Guy Fawkes mask this morning, following a hack that compromised the site’s user database.

Claiming responsibility for the takeover was a hacker group called Evil Shadow Team, who, in addition to putting a new face on Windows products, revealed that user passwords were saved in plain text. The group’s motivations are unknown, though the hacked page warned that an “unsafe system will be baptized.” The store is now offline, suggesting that Microsoft may have regained control.

If you have registered at Microsoft India Store at any point of time, I strongly urge you to change your password right now. It’s extremely crucial you do that right away.
