Microsoft Software Leak Inquiry Raises Privacy Issues + More
http://j.mp/1ikJROA (New York Times)
Microsoft accused the former employee of stealing company trade
secrets in the form of software code for the Windows operating system,
and leaking the software to a blogger. In an investigation, the
company figured out who revealed the information by reading the emails
and instant messages of the blogger on his Microsoft-operated Hotmail
and message accounts.

Microsoft said late Thursday that it will "evolve" its policies for
searching through non-employee Hotmail and Outlook.com mail accounts
in the wake of concern over its practices. The company has come after

company information was leaked.
