Microsoft claims no involvement in raid of next-gen Xbox info leaker

4.5
A few days ago we made an article which included details about SuperDaE's house being raided. At first, it was thought that Microsoft had initiated the raid on DaE's house. But a Microsoft employee says otherwise.

Microsoft recently claimed no involvement in the recent raid by Australian police and the FBI. A Microsoft spokesperson provided the following statement: "Microsoft did not initiate this FBI investigation with this individual, as has been asserted in some of the articles in the media. We take security very seriously and have no evidence of any compromise of our corporate network. We have no further comment on this matter."

According to a report from sources, DaE was met by a Microsoft intellectual property official in recent months. The visit followed leaks about Microsoft's next-gen console, codenamed Durango, as well as eBay sales listed by DaE of a developer version of the console. A Microsoft official, Miles Hawkes, asked DaE how he was able to gain access to information on the company's servers.
DaE claimed that by gaining access to Microsoft's servers, he was able to create an account to the company's Xbox Developer Program website. He then ordered a developer version of the console using the fake account, he says.



The warrant given to us by SuperDae was confirmed as genuine by a West Australian Police spokesperson but if you read the warrant it lists Microsoft in the Search warrant.

So what do you think? Do you think Microsoft are telling the truth?

If Microsoft claim no involvement does this mean the raid was unlawful?

Microsoft want to keep their company's reputation and they're trying to salvage it by covering it up.

see, im decent at cracking small website databases and defacing websites with my own html files, like the free ones from thetechgame.org or freewebs, they arent very secure, but something like microsoft, wow, how could anyone manage to get past all the security they have, make an account, and order a dev kit durango, thats just crazy, and if they record all ip addresses, wouldnt they keep track of everyone thats actually in the developer program? so how did he get in if they monitor ip addresses? wouldnt he be like, the only foreign one?
