It’s good that the lawmakers are holding Microsoft responsible and taking them to task about these incidents, but the only reason this is happening is because they were directly affected. If this weren’t the case, MS would’ve published their usual “we take privacy and security very seriously” BS and continued on cashing that check.

Also Microsoft is “sorry” but does that include giving all the money they got from the government, i.e. the taxes collected from citizens, back? I know the answer is “No” but this is another indicator that the government officials only care about their own privacy and security. If they cared about the tax payers, they would’ve asked for the money back.

Edit: Also, there’s a whistleblower: https://www.propublica.org/article/microsoft-solarwinds-golden-saml-data-breach-russian-hackers

Edit 2, from the ProPublica article:

This is part of the problem overall with the industry,” said Nick DiCola, who was one of Harris’ bosses at Microsoft and now works at Zero Networks, a network security firm. Publicly-traded tech giants “are beholden to the share price, not to doing what’s right for the customer all the time. That’s just a reality of capitalism. You’re never going to change that in a public company because at the end of the day, they want the shareholder value to go up.”

Truer words have never been spoken, Nick.

Hate these stupid fucked up headlines. What “price” are they paying?! They don’t even know how many of their customers were actually affected. They have no idea what happened as they’re incompetent and apathetic about the data they’re so zealously collecting. So what’s this price?

Corporations have no shame or morals, and as history indicates, there will be zero repercussions for them, and therefore zero consequences.
