Researchers discovered that Microsoft’s inadequate cloud security led to the exposure of internal company data.

Just a week after US federal agencies blamed Microsoft’s corporate culture for its security flaws, a new security issue emerged: researchers found internal Microsoft data exposed on an Azure cloud server due to a lack of password protection. The data included Bing search engine info, passwords, code, and scripts. Microsoft took about a month to secure the data after notification, but the duration of exposure remains uncertain.
