Kibalko sent these to an anonymous "French innovation blogger" who at that point posted screen captures on the web. 

 

In researching these posts, Microsoft's delegate general insight John Frank said that the organization took "exceptional activities" – to be specific, checking Hotmail   account having a place with the unknown French blogger to discover the name of the representative in charge of the breaks.
