Microsoft said there was no indication the code leak was a result of a breach of Microsoft's corporate network. Instead it seems the leak could be a software developer, but the company has yet to to pinpoint a suspect. There is concern that hackers who get copies of the code could find it easier to break into systems running Windows software. But Microsoft said that was unlikely since the code comprised of relatively small proportion of the total source code. Source: BBC NEWS
