Twas confirmed by microsoft that a portion of the source code for windows 10 has leaked. this contains software elements which may present an opportunity for hackers to exploit such weakness.
The leak was described by U.K tech site, THE REGISTER, as a massive trove including both code for USB and Wi-Fi modules and full unreleased builds of Windows 10 and server 2016
While such leak was descrbed as massive, THE VERGE claims that the leak is relatively minor.
much of the leaked material has already circulated outside of Microsoft as part of code packages regularly shared with development partners and other customers.
Meanwhile, there is evidence that the content came from hacks of microsoft's network. THE VERGE points to the arrest of two men in England accused of hacking Microsoft.
The files have since been removed from beta archive where they originally surfaced
