A stolen van loaded with gas cannisters was driven into the Athens HQ of Microsoft Corp in the northern suburb of Marousi. As reported in mainstream media, those in the van forced the security guards out of the building, drove the van into its ground floor and set it on fire before leaving. There is no responsibility claim as of yet.
UPDATE: On June 29, a communique was posted on Athens IMC, claiming responsibility for the action.

‘In a statement published on the Internet, the International Revolutionary Front said it singled out Microsoft to strike a blow at capitalism.
“We chose this building because Microsoft is one of the most powerful companies of the computer sector … which is now carrying capitalism on its shoulders,” it said.
The group said it also carried out the attack as a sign of support to other militants currently detained by police in Greece and Italy.
The statement made mention of Ted Kaczynski, also known as the “Unabomber”, who conducted a mail bomb campaign in the United States over almost 20 years.’
