Gotta love these kind of news. There’s always these hypothetical discussions of clouds being insecure and companies generally just ignore that, because clouds are theoretically, sometimes cheaper.
And then every now and then, half the internet leaks out of one of these clouds and everyone’s like, holy crap, and then companies go back to generally just ignoring that, because clouds are theoretically, sometimes cheaper.
Unfortunately nobody in charge has seen consequences for their decision to save a few theoretical nickels, so far. But then again, a lot of software/IT related stuff would look completely different, if anybody did.

What else can you expect from microcrap…
The exposed data included backups of personal information belonging to Microsoft employees, including passwords for Microsoft services, secret keys, and an archive of over 30,000 internal Microsoft Teams messages originating from 359 Microsoft employees.
In an advisory on Monday by the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) team, Microsoft said that no customer data was exposed, and no other internal services faced jeopardy due to this incident.
Wait, they stored passwords in plain text?
Possibly or as a weak hash
Did Microsoft officially stop caring about security or is this more of a fad, like when everything was tiles for a while?
If you think that’s bad check out Apple right now
