Microsoft’s cloud gets hacked multiple times a year, nobody cares. Everyone is connecting everything together. Business people with no security training/context are “writing” integrations with Lego-like services (and now LLMs). Cloudflare hiccups and the Internet crashes.

Nobody cares about the things you’re saying anymore (I do!!). Extract more money. Move faster. Outcompete. Fix it later. Just get a bigger cyber incident insurance policy. User data doesn’t actually matter. Nobody expects privacy so why implement it?

Everything is enshitified, even software engineering.

What cloud? Private SharePoint instances? Accounts? Free Outlook accounts?

Do you have any source on this?

Small sample: https://www.virtru.com/blog/industry-updates/microsoft-data-...

I also can't find the news, but they were hacked a few years ago and the hackers were still inside their network for months while they were trying to get them out. I wouldn't trust anything from MS as most of their system is likely infected in some form

Companies are suffering massive losses from Cyber, and there are state actors out there who will use these failures as well. I really don't think that organisations that fail to pay attention will survive.
