    It seems this isn’t about customer data:

    The exposed data included full backups of two employees’ computers. These backups contained sensitive personal data, including passwords to Microsoft services, secret keys, and more than 30,000 internal Microsoft Teams messages from more than 350 Microsoft employees.

      Some of that data could be from (or for) customer use, like the service passwords.

      Who TF is keeping secret keys on their dev machine, that shit is toxic. Not to mention passwords

        They probably mean like private ssh keys and developer credentials, not production keys. Microsoft does not give signing keys to developers, code releases have to get signed through the build servers.

        The cloud is just somebody else’s computer. You give up some control and get some convenience. I’m paranoid about their cloud services and cloud services in general.

    I worked for a cloud company that rhymes with frugal. They had sent a customers data into another customer’s environment. The customer who unknowingly received this data had to be locked out of their environment for a week until they were able to remove the other customers data.

                I could be wrong, but I don’t think most native English speakers distinguish between the two. Wikipedia says Philadelphia’s accent does.

      If it’s a root CA private signing key, 2KB could be fatal. If it’s tiktoks, 100TB could be worthless.
