Hacking the French Information Superhighway

France is among the countries which have made fast and affordable internet connections available to its citizenry. It is a country wherein digital information technology is continuously developed to suit the needs of its people. Thus, France has a booming information industry, thanks to the support of its own people for certain technological advances, as well as the investments pouring in from other countries. But with this magnitude of technological development, many opportunity seekers are trying ways and means in which to disrupt France's information system, if not gain themselves large profits out of cyber terrorism.

Recently, a Turkish group of hackers have found a way in which to gain access to the Microsoft French server internet site. Microsoft publicly stated that the hacker attack was caused by a series of blunders regarding the server site's configuration settings. The hackers were said to have exploited a minor flaw in the internet site server's soon to be actually patched server configurations, Microsoft also told reporters. Fortunately, Microsoft was ahead of this hacker group, and deflected any actual crimes to be committed on their French internet site server. This just goes to show how smarter and smarter people are becoming because of the need for either infamy, money, or both!
