Microsoft Admits To Backdoor In IIS [updated] 236

Ninkasi writes: "Here is a rather alarming article from Yahoo which claims that Microsoft has a backdoor password into IIS web servers running FrontPage 98 server extensions. Here's another brilliant example of how closed source development models are a threat to security and privacy on the Internet." The article says that Microsoft "plans to alert customers as soon as possible with an e-mail bulletin and advisory published on its corporate Web site." This is really just too perfect. Update: 05/14 07:48 PM by T : Actually, it is too perfect -- guess this particular possibility for built-in backdoors is old news. Sorry.
