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

[–] [email protected] 58 points 2 years ago

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?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The lax security is still worrying when they have so much data in general

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

On a local pc no less. They don't use password repos at Microsoft?

You're telling me they leaked my Ai request to put boobs on a sandwich us leaked now?!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I'm pretty sure 20 TB of that is just "put ~~books~~ boobs on *insert thing"

Edit: I really need to proofread before I post.

Seems there are more bibliophiles out there than we realize.

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 asked chat GPT and it couldn't understand which company you were talking about. I think you will be safe for now! 😏

Wow, not even A tech company, but THE tech company that rhymes with frugal.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So I've either been saying Google or frugal wrong. Which one is it?

Oh nevermind: /ˈfɹuːɡəl/ /ˈɡuː.ɡəl/

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Which one were you saying wrong?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I was saying /ˈfɹuːɡʌl/

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Well that's good to hear, maybe that is where I picked it up (not a native speaker)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Is it the big G? English is not my first language.

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

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And if it's porn? Priceless.

For everything else: MasterCard.

And my axe!

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 years ago

This exact scenario with links to cloud folders is also how the infowars lawyer leaked case related stuff to the prosecution lawyer for the sandyhook families

I have a feeling it's time to think of a better (or worse!) UI/UX to alleviate human error

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Interesting, is that leaked on any forums? Been a while since I've searched for leaked databases but all my old go to forums got raided (understandably so)

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Are you planning to download 38TB data?

I would want to try to work something out, I really want a peek at that transformers folder.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I'd imagine the bulk of it is the training bucket, the interesting stuff should be way less

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago

Save yourself the PR nightmare that accompanies data breaches! Prevent all outside hacking forever by proactively dumping your data onto the internet yourself!

It's pure genius!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I hate it when I do that

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Accidental goatse from Microsoft. That a good time.
