One thought on “Congress questions Microsoft boss after a ‘cascade’ of security errors

  1. Microsoft should be under the microscope. They’re lying. MS has no incentives to actually value security, so they don’t – but they need to look like they care, just enough, to get people to keep buying their software.

    Startup tech is expected to “go fast and break things” – often at great expense to those who adopt those unproven new systems. But the MS tools relied on so heavily by corporations and governments – these fundamentally can not be exposed to that kind of security negligence.

    The entire existence of the “Recall” feature proves that MS has given up all pretense of keeping our PCs safe – they’re fine with placing our valuable information right out on the front porch for anyone to steal. The system was very much not locked down, encrypted, private, or built with any safety in mind. They’re just lying.
