Sounds good to me that MS says « hey, ecosystem, we must work together for a better digital security, we cannot do it alone ».

But I can’t help thinking that they are already handling the post-damages phase, and adopt a leading attitude, because they do see the situation is very bad.

Worrying.


> 'The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) issued a joint statement on Wednesday to say that they were coordinating a “whole-of-government response to this significant cyber incident.” And Smith warned that “we should all be prepared for stories about additional victims in the public sector and other enterprises and organizations.”'


Can someone contextualize the damage? In all the articles I’ve read, it says it’s “bad” but doesn’t go into why it is bad and what was breached.


It wouldn't suprise me if a lot of the details are classified
