To be fair if I was Microsoft I’d probably just do a Windows update that adds 127.0.0.1 corp.com to wherever they keep the hosts file on windows :-)

- chills 7y agoDo you really think these organizations shipping their credentials off to corp.com are applying Windows updates?
- andy_ppp 7y agoIn which case they aren't worried about security, so why does buying corp.com matter?
- stordoff 7y agoDepends if it's an update people/organisations would apply: > Over the years, Microsoft has shipped several software updates to help decrease the likelihood of namespace collisions that could create a security problem for companies that still rely on Active Directory domains that do not map to a domain they control. > However, experts say hardly any vulnerable organizations have deployed these fixes for two reasons. First, doing so requires the organization to take down its entire Active Directory network simultaneously for some period of time. > Second, according to Microsoft applying the patch(es) will likely break or at least slow down a number of applications that the affected organization relies upon for day-to-day operations. Faced with either or both of these scenarios, most affected companies probably decided the actual risk of not applying these updates was comparatively low.
