NEW DELHI – Microsoft said Monday it was investigating an attack by hackers on its Indian retail website, reportedly carried out by a Chinese group called the “Evil Shadow Team.” The team struck at www.microsoftstore.co.in late Sunday, stealing login IDs and
passwords of people who had used the website for buying Microsoft products, the Times of India said. After hacking the site, the Evil Shadow Team posted a message saying that the “unsafe system will be baptized,” the ToI said. The Microsoft site was running a message Monday saying that the “Microsoft Store India is currently unavailable” and that the world’s largest software company was working “to restore access as quickly as possible.”
