Smaller corporations have it easier, IF they took IT Security serious. For the simple fact, that there are just a lot less entry points and way less whack amole playing.
And Microsoft never took security as serious as they should have.
Edith: And I highly doubt, we’ll see a substantial change on Microsoft’s side. 1.: There’s less Money to be made. 2.: In some ways, their hands are tied because of the still ongoing Patriot Act/USA Freedom Act (which is a bullshit name) or rather the safe harbor stuff.
Nation state cybersecurity threats are a big deal, and heavily targeting Microsoft is definitely part of a larger game plan by Russia.
If Microsoft is struggling, imagine how helpless “smaller” corporations (Even 10/100’s of billion $ corps) would be.
I’m interested in how this plays out, and the kinds of postmortems we’ll get from this. Will we see any shift in security culture and best practices?

I don’t think we’ll get the post mortems you ate imagining.
Microsoft has typically been extremely vague - famously vague, even - about any details.
