This link has a very amusing story.

http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=24013

Apparently Microsoft got together their software people and hackers to
show how much more secure their products are. It only took about 10
minutes for the hackers to get the Microsoft programmers rather upset.
Microsoft managers were quite happy. They said that they kept talking
at the programmers about security, to no avail. The Hackers finally got
the programmer's attantion. :-)
