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.
What's the other 37.9TB?
The lax security is still worrying when they have so much data in general
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.
On a local pc no less. They don't use password repos at Microsoft?
