Silicon Updates: Windows 10 source code leaked, Beta Archive reveals related facts

Beta Archive has posted that the source of Windows 10 was leaked earlier this week. This source code included the module of code related to USB, storage and Wi-Fi drivers. Beta Archive is the enthusiast that closely follows Microsoft's releases. The leaked source code of Windows 10 was made available on the Beta Archive's FTP.

Our review confirms that these files are actually a portion of the source code from the Shared Source Initiative and is used by OEMs and partners - says Microsoft spokesperson in an email to The Verge.

The report from The Register exposed that 32GB of data was leaked. Also, The Register claims that this leak included most of the yet to be released Windows code. The Register compares this leak to that of the Windows 2000 leak that occurred in 2004 and claims that this is even bigger and is going to cost enough price to Microsoft. Several builds of Windows 10 related to different hardware support are also included in the leak.
But, the owner of Beta Archive Andrew Whyman claims that only 1.2GB of data. He adds that the data was removed on own decision of Beta Archive. After enough investigation, Beta Archive suspects that two person from Lincolnshire and Bracknell were responsible for the leak, as these two were arrested in UK. However, the identities of these two culprits were note revealed.
Out of all these arguments, if the leak is true, then this helps attackers to exploit Windows 10 based machines easily. If this really happens, internet is in huge trouble in its very existence.
