Microsoft confirms blunder results in user data leak

>

A misconfigured Microsoft endpoint was exposing sensitive data about Microsoft’s customers to the wider internet, the company confirmed in a press release published earlier this week. When he announced the news this Wednesday, the Redmond giant said he was notified of the misconfiguration by threat intelligence agency SOCRadar in late September and closed the gap shortly after.

The language used in the announcement seems to suggest that the data was not accessed by an authorized third party: “This misconfiguration resulted in the potential for unauthenticated access to some business transaction data corresponding to interactions between Microsoft and potential customers.” the company said sadly. .
