Windows 10 Internal Builds Source Code Leaked - Ecks - 06-24-2017
The data, some 32TB of installation images and software blueprints that compress down to 8TB, were uploaded to betaarchive.com, the latest load of files provided just earlier this week. It is believed the data has been exfiltrated from Microsoft's in-house systems since around March. The leaked code is Microsoft's Shared Source Kit: according to people who have seen its contents, it includes the source to the base Windows 10 hardware drivers plus Redmond's PnP code, its USB and Wi-Fi stacks, its storage drivers, and ARM-specific OneCore kernel code. Anyone who has this information can scour it for security vulnerabilities, which could be exploited to hack Windows systems worldwide. The code runs at the heart of the operating system, at some of its most trusted levels. In addition to this, hundreds of top-secret builds of Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016, none of which have been released to the public, have been leaked along with copies of officially released versions.

Fake news, as usual. Journalism is complete shit these days. Hard to even respect anyone in or going into the profession.

Not so much as fake news as much as overblown for clickbait status, since the leak did exist until the article was released ,but was no where near the size said. Thanks for the update @GOD

I pretty much just say fake news about anything that isn't correct, or at least news that bends the truth and spreads any misinformation for their or their organization's benefit. Not really sure when it should be said, but yeah, it gets the point across quickly and it's fun to say.

The content, as @GOD said wasn't accurate and very much a fake news article. While there was a leak, and it was to that location, the content of the leak and file size is nowhere near accurate. So, not even a mistake, it is actually fake news.
