Did Microsoft officially stop caring about security or is this more of a fad, like when everything was tiles for a while?

Broken_Monitor ,

We gotta give them a reason to care before they will do anything about it. How many companies have suffered major data breaches over the past 5 years with basically no consequences?

Just leave Microsoft

Oh wait, everything depends on windows. Boy we have created a monster

Broken_Monitor ,

I can, but it would take a lot of effort to do so. I will look into it, but a lot of my video games still rely on Windows. However, for MS to change and care it would require a mass exodus on the corporate level, which will never happen.

The more staff a company has, the more chance of mistakes/idiots.

They should have scans to pick a lot of this up though.

To be fair Microsoft has never cared much about security. See the windows server (a relatively niche os on servers) second entry in this stat: statista.com/…/major-operating-systems-targeted-b….

It is just that nowadays this kind of issues are more in the news because of “russian cyber criminals”, while in the past no one really cared.

Not that I complain… Visibility is actually a good thing

It’s not relatively niche on SMBs though. It’s a major target so it’ll always get hit.

Zeth0s , (edited )

It’s far less common than linux oses… In any type of servers, including data storages. It is THE major target because it is a bad OS, nowadays primarily used by companies that haven’t a good IT for file shares used by tech illiterates easily victims of social engineering attacks. It’s a explosive combination that results in that stat… Practically 100 % of successful ransomware attacks on servers is on windows servers, despite overall being much less used than competitors
