If you've the resources, and knowledge there are ways to browse through parts of a web site that you "should not have access to". That's how hackers create their "fame". And those tools are available on the web especially if you know where to find them. As far as source code is concerned, if you know the programming environment that created them then de-compiling the code is a lot easier, and there isn't a software vendor out there that does not prohibit decompilition. What is probably going to be the worse of all this is the "guilt by accusation" that's going to occur. People buying software and/or support are going to see this gorilla in the closet & wonder if their getting contaminated software or that the support their expecting simply evaporates. I've seen this happen before, it took what we thought was the best product for the job off of the table even though the case had not yet been heard in court. And I doubt very seriously that this gets resolved before the end of the year.

Good question. This appears to be related to the PeopleSoft and JDEdwards apps. Apparently they got in using privileged client access to the help site ??metalink?? and downloaded stuff they shouldn't have.
How they got source code even through that is beyond me.
