In major gaffe, hacked Microsoft test account was assigned admin privileges — How does a legacy test account grant access to read every Office 365 account?::undefined
How? Human error.
Why? Microsoft is just that kind of company and always has been. Their t’s aren’t crossed and i’s aren’t dotted, and people buy their shit because they’re used to it.
Name one company which does. There aren’t. Every corporation is big, cumbersome and full of people who make mistakes and don’t follow procedures.
Which is why I don’t trust “the cloud” in general. Obviously businesses are meant to make profit, not to protect my data. If one is at odds with the other, they will choose profit.
anyone that expected Microsoft to be faultless hasn’t paid attention to the last 30+ years
How? Easy: a result of lazy programing. Like every other MS vulnerability.
esit: Just remember, this is a company that designed a remote desktop protocol for their OS in a way that it could be exploited to remotely log in and take over control. You’d think, this was the exact type of threat that it should’ve been tested against.
