Microsoft negligence and SolarWinds
Originally written on June 14, 2024
Why should people be overly concerned about the XZ Utilities compromise, when Microsoft's negligence was a major factor in the SolarWinds security compromise?
An article from ProPublica details how Microsoft values profit over morality.
Forget about the _NSAKEY situation or even the PRISM program.
If Microsoft is complicit in SolarWinds as a personal computer OS company, then all bets are off the table on the most stringent security models for depending on your OS creator to keep you safe.
