Knock it off, Microsoft. You’re not my buddy, you’re an OS. Your job is to sit down, shut up, and run the programs I choose. That’s it.
If I find a function that’s useful for more than a week, I might make a batch file for it. Until then, you’re spare code.
Or the XCOM games.
Having managed an exchange instance for my old job, I can safely say that DKIM and DMARC are just some extra DNS entries for out-of-band verification. They can be boiled down to a pair of checkboxes on a compliance sheet.
I can also say that most of the companies we got emails from didn’t have DKIM, and even fewer had DMARC. Or worse, they had DMARC set to p=ignore. Which is honestly even more infuriating.
Meanwhile, Microsoft’s Exchange platform blatantly ignores DMARC failures for senders and relays on its “Good PTR list”. Bit of a glaringly large hole for spam to pass through.
748 million? I’ll be surprised if they get more than 748 thousand.
They got the training data from Reddit, what did they expect?
If I hadn’t already deleted all my posts and comments, I’d be poisoning all of them. Randomizing numbers, switching units, changing names, etc.
No, there are still use cases for it. I usually use it to retrieve web pages from sites that get incorrectly blocked by the firewall at work.
It’s only minor if the data points in this breach are used by themselves.
Once you aggregate this with other data breaches, you could end up with a much bigger capability to target anyone in this breach.
