A few days ago we made an article which included details about SuperDaE's house being raided. At first, it was thought that Microsoft had initiated the raid on DaE's house. But a Microsoft employee says otherwise.

Microsoft recently claimed no involvement in the recent raid by Australian police and the FBI. A Microsoft spokesperson provided the following statement: "Microsoft did not initiate this FBI investigation with this individual, as has been asserted in some of the articles in the media. We take security very seriously and have no evidence of any compromise of our corporate network. We have no further comment on this matter."

According to a report from sources, DaE was met by a Microsoft intellectual property official in recent months. The visit followed leaks about Microsoft's next-gen console, codenamed Durango, as well as eBay sales listed by DaE of a developer version of the console. A Microsoft official, Miles Hawkes, asked DaE how he was able to gain access to information on the company's servers.
DaE claimed that by gaining access to Microsoft's servers, he was able to create an account to the company's Xbox Developer Program website. He then ordered a developer version of the console using the fake account, he says.



The warrant given to us by SuperDae was confirmed as genuine by a West Australian Police spokesperson but if you read the warrant it lists Microsoft in the Search warrant.

So what do you think? Do you think Microsoft are telling the truth?

If Microsoft claim no involvement does this mean the raid was unlawful?

Microsoft is so full of shit it's obvious. Of course they had something to do with it.

Microsoft's name may be on the Warrant but if you read

http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/wa/co...3/s41.html

(e) if it is desired to search the place for a thing relevant to the offence — describe the thing or the class of thing; and

The warrant specifically says:

Any record, as defined by Section 3 of the Criminal Investigation Act (2006) related to Microsoft Corporation and any other partner associations, PayPal, Ebay.

So they are simply given permission to acquire devices/accounts, manufactured/owned by the Microsoft Corporation by the Judge.

I call bullshit on Microsoft, Western Australian police are dumber than a hat full of dicks.

Microsoft sent the law dogs after him, they got him raided.
