The software giant enlisted the help of the 
FBI on Friday to investigate the attack after 
a hacker or group of hackers broke into 
the company's network. According to 
sources, the hackers had access to 
networks for weeks, giving them time 
to explore Microsoft's internal computers.

Security experts said the break-in heralded
a new phase of industrial attack, as the 
hackers created an intelligent software 
agent called a worm to rummage 
independently through networks for 
valuable information.

Microsoft may be one of the biggest 
names thus far to have its corporate 
networks hacked, but it's far from alone 
in having suffered such attacks.
