  Microsoft Download Center Hacked? Or Is It Just A Typo?
Time: 10:21 EST/15:21 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Robert Stein

Alright, I was on my normal run for news this morning checking out if Microsoft released any new downloads at Microsoft download center. Sure enough, they have: "Visual FoxPro ODBC Driver Setups" Version 6.1, 91 MB. So I clicked the following link:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?releaseid=28554

Sure enough, it didn't bring me to the download information but directed me to a page Miocrosoft.com. On this page, it said my ""Browse Better" Browser Enhancement not found!" and that "You will need the "Browse Better" Browser Enhancement to visit our sites in the future!" So at this point I know it is not Microsoft and I click the update button. I get this address to automatically download a file:

http://64.33.2.56/pb/BrowseBetterSetup.exe

So I do a whois on the domain, miocrosoft.com and get the following information: Registrant:

  • NAMEZERO.COM (MIOCROSOFT2-DOM)
  • 51 University Ave, Suite K
  • LOS GATOS, CA 95030 US
  • Domain Name: MIOCROSOFT.COM

BrowseBettersetup.exe is 71 KB and not virus infected, from what I could tell. It is signed by LogicWorld. I've verified this on about 20 computers on the network.. So if you would like to try, go to the Download Center at the above address. Click Windows 98, by date. Choose the VB ODBC Setups as I said above. Please comment below, I'm in the process of notfiying Microsoft.

Update! The link is now fixed, 12 hours after notifying Microsoft:

Okay, the official response from a MS spokesperson, "There was no hack. The person who posted the page in question made a typographical error, and the page posted despite the error because the error resulted in a link to a live page on the Internet. The error has been corrected." Yea yea, I was wrong for the first two hours...then the title was changed, so I was really only wrong completely for the first two hours :-)
