Hackers affiliated with the Anonymous group have posted a number of pieces of hacked data, include VMware source code and purported OCSE documents, as part of protests linked to Guy Fawkes day.

VMware confirmed that source code posted on Sunday was genuine, and recommended that customers apply patches.

"Today, November 4, 2012, our security team became aware of the public posting of VMware ESX source code dating back to 2004," said VMware director of platform security Iain Mulholland in an advisory. "By applying the combination of the most current product updates and the relevant security patches, we believe our customer environments will be best protected."
