Actually it is the same guy that found the Microsoft embedded ID and broke that news to the world that is now responsible for using that embedded ID to track down the perp. He was the one who complained to Microsoft about it. The irony is that they will not find the guy since the embedded id is unlikely to be traceable to a real person AND this guy got his Microsoft OS upgrade. So the very system that was meant to keep Microsoft's software out of the hands of thieves is fooled by the thieves into damaging Microsoft and getting free software. The only security system that will ultimately work on the net is not one that relies upon embedded IDs but one which uses a secure digital identity stored in an identity vault --- Novell's digitalme. If you put your identity into the vault you have to be verifiable at the vault. That means the vault must know who you are. You have to be real to get a digital id. The world however doesn't get that verification information so noone can masquerade as you. Much of this hacking would disappear if digitalme became a standard because no web site would allow a person in that did not have a verifiable digitalme id.
