Just over a year from the last "opening" of the beta newsgroups, several Microsoft Beta testers are reporting they have full access to a lot of beta announcement newsgroups this evening.
Much like last year the opening of sensitive beta newsgroups may be due to a server upgrade. Users haven't reported anything interesting contained within the newsgroups expect beta announcements.
We have contacted Microsoft security regarding this and are awaiting a response.
