From the article:
Microsoft locked down a server last month that exposed Microsoft employee passwords, keys and credentials to the open Internet, as the company faces growing pressure to strengthen the security of its software. Microsoft was notified of the vulnerability on February 6th and the block on March 5th. It is unclear whether anyone accessed the exposed server during this period.
Oof, and there’s people out there that are committed to Microsoft products because of security concerns.
I never understood that. There are a lot of reasons to use Microsoft products, but security isn't one of them imo. They're far from the worst, but they're also far from the best.
Laugh at Microsoft all you want for their inexcusable and slapstick comedy of errors in security, operating system, online office, and browser blunders, but when it comes to lobbying politicians, corporate officers, and building a monopoly, they're epic.
Not great for a company that wants to control all software development for all platforms.
