Windows NT and 2000 source code leaked

Ooops.

Apparently someone leaked 660 megs (out of 40 gigabytes) of the Windows source code. It went out on several filesharing networks and is now on the hard drives of thousands of hackers, script kiddies, and average users. This is just a fraction of the total Windows source code, but it is probably enough for some of the more savvy hackers to start writing viruses and worms that take advantage of hooks the Microsoft writers may have left behind.
