This.
Very frustrating as I work with a Microsoft-oriented company at the moment. Any mention of this to their architectural team results in nothing short of "mwuhahaha you're talking shit". There is some weird universal trust there that really makes no sense at all.
To add insult to injury they don't log, don't have an IDS and don't have a clue stick to hit themselves with.
Their funeral!
- tptacek 13y agoAs if having an IDS would make a difference.
- bananas 13y agoYou're right - it wouldn't but at least it'd look like they gave a crap.
- MichaelGG 13y agoMS's program to provide information on upcoming security issues to large customers isn't anything sinister. It's an obvious step to achieve a better overall security by allowing larger users to mitigate damage before a patch is available. You can spin it as a secret NSA-program, but I don't think that's very useful as this program does legitimately help a ton of users. (Not that it really would excuse things, but I'd be very surprised if intelligence agencies don't have people inside companies like Microsoft anyways.)
- bananas 13y agoI disagree. I've worked for a few large European financial orgs over the years and MS will not disclose issues early to them despite begging and piles of money. We're talking 50k+ employees here. However DoD connected companies like Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Raytheon are right in there without an invite. You just get the feeling there's something off when relationships are made like that.
- romanovcode 13y agoProbably because they don't care about any of that. They probably care about releasing products and making clients happy. Also, mwuhahaha you're talking shit.
