This is a consumer choice. You don't trust Microsoft, you don't use its services. On the government level, you ask for regulations if the situation is escalated (if necessary). But dealing with global cyberattacks is not Microsoft problem and it's not connected to one company or one service. It's an international responsibility to act and establish a framework that prevents such attacks.
- Woodi 5y agoLook, you could be right in... usual case. But we speaking freaking NATO here !!!!! Do you attach string to hand granade and hand other side to your adversary ? And then argue that someone pulled it ?? Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Exchange is SYNONYM to "security HOLE" ! So tell me - why customer NATO _choose_ to use this ?
- jimmy2020 5y agoI don't think NATO has any value here. It's a signal of unity not just to China but to Russia. This is how Biden admin defines "America is back". So it might be aggressive but actually, it's a unity message. Us, the allies, against them the adversaries.
- A4ET8a8uTh0 5y agoJust the other day I was listening to a radio show ( further right than shown in mainstream ), where a user was clamoring for a proper locked down version of Windows where nothing can go wrong. The current situation ( and the resulting clamoring ) is absolutely a direct result of people who create this software. Trying to shift the blame onto nonexistent framework is at best laughable and at worst very deceptive. It absolves MS and its engineers from guilt associated with it. To put it another way, if those engineers were bridge engineers, we would now be witnessing multiple collapses with swathes of engineers arguing that it is not their fault as 'there is an international responsibility to act and establish a framework' that prevents bridges from falling apart. I am sorry. I do not buy this defense. As an architect, you should know better.
- jimmy2020 5y agoYou have a valid point. I am not arguing against it. I was trying to say discussing how MS deals with the subject is not the point. But after reading your recent comment, well, I guess we should talk more about MS failure.
- jimmy2020 5y agoI don't know if you gonna read this, but I should give a credit for your take on the subject. This is what you were talking about: https://edwardsnowden.substack.com/p/ns-oh-god-how-is-this-legal https://edwardsnowden.substack.com/p/ns-oh-god-how-is-this-l...
