This is the best summary I could come up with:
On July 12th, Microsoft disclosed a major breach targeting its Azure platform, which it traced to a Chinese hacking group known as Storm-0558.
Last week, Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR) sent a letter to the US Department of Justice, asking it hold Microsoft accountable for “negligent cybersecurity practices.”
Yoran has more to add to the senator’s arguments, writing in his post that Microsoft has demonstrated a “repeated pattern of negligent cybersecurity practices,” enabling Chinese hackers to spy on the US government.
Tenable initially discovered the flaw in March and found that it could give bad actors access to a company’s sensitive data, including a bank.
The security firm Wiz reported last week that the hack on Azure may have been more far-reaching than originally thought, although Microsoft has since disputed its findings.
Microsoft has been involved in numerous recent data breaches, including the infamous Solar Winds hack that affected agencies across the US government.
