They run a bunch of Linux servers (Azure), so they were affected.
- atmosx 12y agoHow come that MS runs Linux on some Azure serves?
- duaneb 12y agoAstonishingly, they cater to the needs of their customers and fully support linux.
- wcummings 12y agoBecause some people want Linux and will pay them for Linux hosting
- Mandatum 12y agoMS's customers can run Linux on Azure. Although I'm sure somewhere out there MS must have had a Linux server affected by this..
- xnull2guest 12y agoThis is correct. The number of Linux machines, even counting firmware and other devices, is extremely low.
- xnull2guest 12y agoThere were extremely few instances where Microsoft was affected by Heartbleed and was running very few Linux servers (in noncritical functions). These very few instances were enumerated and closed almost immediately. There is only one team I know of that was affected - however a scan was done to confirm this. Patching for customers in Azure can be done through normal OS channels, though patches can be forced and base images an be modified to close holes (this was done).
