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 know this isn’t what this is, but I dream of the day that someone gets hold of the source code for Windows 10/11 and just dumps it onto the internet, and then some other enterprising soul uses it to make a version of Windows that runs all the apps but has all the Microsoft bullshit removed.

    I’m sure it’ll never happen, but it’s nice to think about.
