Sounds terrible

"Websense is reporting that Google pages has been hacked and
is hosting malicious Trojan code for people to download."

Websense is reporting it's been hacked? Actually no it doesn't.
Websense reports the same IP as http://googlepages.com/ is
"hosting malicious code".

I'm not sure what's hosted on googlepages.com server as it is a
redirection to pages.google.com. However given "Google Pages"
is a web page hosting service for google users does it require
hacking to host malicious code?

"In a slightly less embarrassing incident, it would seem that the
experts at Microsoft France weren't so smart because
experts.microsoft.fr was defaced over the weekend."

Sorry? The least embarrassing is MS experts are unable to secure
a webserver (presumably running MS software) than a service
designed to enable users to upload their own web content.

Ah the ZDNet security meter at work again. Good job George, MS
would again be proud;-)
