Bing! Microsoft gets hacked in Argentina in fine style

Microsoft has been hacked. The new Bing search engine has had the treatment done by some Argentine with a cool sense of humour.

Instructions:

1) Go to the Argentina homepage of Bing (right here)

2) Write in the word "ladrones" (Spanish for 'thieves') and hit enter

3) The top returned page is this homepage for the President of the Nation (pasted below as seen)

  • Presidencia de la Nacion Argentina ... Si usted desea comunicarse, puede hacerlo por los siguientes medios: Correo Postal:



It also works if your keyword is "delincuentes" (criminals), the top return being the Ministry of Industry. ENJOY!! It'll only work til it doesn't, but to prove I'm not making it up here's an EFE newswire report about the hack (Spanish language).



UPDATE: Thanks to commenter Matteo, we now know that if you type in "chorros" (slang for thieves) you get the Arnet website, the internet service run by Telecom Argentina (TEO)

Thanks to commenter Un Tal Lucas, we now know that if you type in "hijos de puta" (slang for ...well, visit BsAs more than five minutes and you'll hear it) you get the website for Telefonica.

Glad to know you're having fun out there, guys.

Free White Paper: Working Together in the New World of Work

Microsoft (no less) has written a brand new white paper on how to make the most of the new world of work. I'll leave you with the description below to tell you more.

This is a free offer for IKN readers, so I hope you take advantage of it. Please note this offer is only open to residents of the USA. Here's the link to get your copy.

"Microsoft Communication and Collaboration: Working Together in the New World of Work"

Learn how the Microsoft® communication and collaboration platform can help you turn the new world of work into a new world of opportunity.

In the new world of work, the focus is on the work, not the where. Individuals come together to solve problems, develop plans, and embrace opportunities. But coming together no longer requires or even implies that individuals are sitting in the same room or even in the same country.

In the new world of work, the physical and logical barriers that once defined a team or workgroup are dissolving. Microsoft is making it easier than ever before to communicate and collaborate via pervasive, contextual capabilities. Three areas where Microsoft has made deep investments to facilitate communication and collaboration are:

  • Delivering unified communications
  • Empowering global teams with collaborative workspaces
  • Connecting people, process, and information
