    Microsoft Store in India has been hacked

    Indian Microsoft store Web site has been hacked and it is currently inaccessible now. The store has been hacked by a team of hackers called ‘Evil Shadow Team’.


    The languages used in the hack clearly indicates that the group of hackers are from china. The hackers were successful in gaining an access to the Microsoft store’s database where usernames and passwords were unfortunately stored in the plain text format. The website is currently offline right now. Once it gets online, the users of Microsoft store are advised to change their username and password.

    This attack clearly shows how unprepared was India Microsoft store for such kind of attack, Microsoft from its side has not commented anything on this issue.

    Indeed a sad news, Thank god i did not had any account in that Microsoft store and this shows the credibility of the hackers to hack into any organizations website.

    Hope so everything gets sorted out soon.
