Did Microsoft officially stop caring about security or is this more of a fad, like when everything was tiles for a while?
We gotta give them a reason to care before they will do anything about it. How many companies have suffered major data breaches over the past 5 years with basically no consequences?
To be fair Microsoft has never cared much about security. See the windows server (a relatively niche os on servers) second entry in this stat: https://www.statista.com/statistics/701020/major-operating-systems-targeted-by-ransomware/.
It is just that nowadays this kind of issues are more in the news because of “russian cyber criminals”, while in the past no one really cared.
Not that I complain… Visibility is actually a good thing
It’s not relatively niche on SMBs though. It’s a major target so it’ll always get hit.
It’s far less common than linux oses… In any type of servers, including data storages. It is THE major target because it is a bad OS, nowadays primarily used by companies that haven’t a good IT for the typical file shares used by tech illiterates easily victims of social engineering attacks. It’s a explosive combination that results in that stat… Practically 100 % of successful ransomware attacks on servers is on windows servers, despite overall being much less used than competitors
Microsoft said that no customer data was exposed.
Well then, let’s break out the popcorn, this should be fun!
That must be why I’ve been getting a million 2fa emails recently asking me to verify my Microsoft account sign in.
Azure storage defaults to being private and when you make it public it gives you a warning prompt to accept…
That must be new… it has been default to public for most of its history.
Nice.
I practically have tourette syndrome at this point I curse the absolute fuckwittery of Microsoft so often.
Gtfo of “the cloud”. Don’t touch it. Don’t joke about touching it.
What else can you expect from microcrap…
Why bother renaming it, it’s always been microshit.
