RE: [SLUG] Microsoft to get Subpoena's in FrontPage "hack" case

["Booth, Christopher (Aus) - ATP" <Christopher.Booth@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Has anyone been able to reproduce the error with other servers ?  Is this a
real known bug or a badly protected network as suggested.

OK, it's a little OT, but potentially VERY ineresting 
to the Linux community.  Aparently this guy was 
browsing the web site of his local paper, when he 
accidently hit the EDIT button in FrontPage - this 
would (usually) make a local copy of the page for the 
user to play with.

But in this case, it let him EDIT the LIVE pages - he 
phoned the paper to tell them that their server had 
problems and the FBI arrested him !!!
