Microsoft reported a breach by Russian group ‘Midnight Blizzard,’ which accessed internal systems and source code using stolen authentication secrets from a January cyberattack. The unauthorized access was facilitated by a compromised non-production test account lacking multi-factor authentication and linked to an OAuth app with elevated privileges. Microsoft is contacting affected customers and has ramped up security measures to counter the persistent threat.
I love the closed source model, where only blackhats get to see the source code that whitehats never had the chance to report bugs on!
it keeps the bug count down 😏
It’s also better code, obviously. Less people to push bad code. Why else is Linux so niche if it’s so great and open source?
Edit: Lol /s is apparently needed. Thought it was obvious :D

Microsoft does share source code of both client and server versions of Windows with 3rd parties. At some point it was shared also with FSB.
