Microsoft itself was criticized a lot for the way it took on to investigate into the leak. In order to find out the culprit behind leaking of the code, Microsoft allegedly tapped into the blogger’s Hotmail account without his consent. Later on due to the furore raised by the online community against illegal snooping, the company has since changed its policy. As per the new Microsoft ToS, if such circumstances occur in the future, the company will call in law enforcement agencies to look into the matter, rather than investigating the matter themselves.
