SAN FRANCISCO - Microsoft Corp’s failure to fix known problems with its cloud software facilitated the massive SolarWinds hack that compromised at least nine federal government agencies, according to security experts and the office of U.S. Senator Ron Wyden.A vulnerability first publicly revealed by researchers in 2017 allows hackers to fake the identity of authorized employees to gain access to customers’ cloud services. The technique was one of many used in the SolarWinds hack.
“It should be cautious about spending any more before we find out why the company didn’t warn the government about the hacking technique that the Russians used, which Microsoft had known about since at least 2017,” he said. Microsoft disputed Wyden’s conclusions, telling Reuters that the design of its identity services was not at fault.
In response to additional questions from Wyden this week, Microsoft acknowledged its programs were not set up to detect the theft of identity tools for granting cloud access.
Ron Wyden is 71 If you really want to lead this country in the digital age, elect some non-geriatrics
See this is dumb, so a senator can tell microsoft what to do, how to do, and critisize them for their response?if they had so much brain they wouldn't be there in the first place.
