Microsoft is feeling the heat in the wake of the Azure breach.

There’s been a string of security blunders in Azure in the last couple years but leaking a signing key and then trying to downplay it is really beyond the pale

    I don’t know what the US government runs on its most secure systems but with all the money we pay in taxes, I hope it’s not Windows, Linux, or macOS. I hope they scooped up some 80’s operating system no one would ever suspect and kept it going in parallel. Good luck hacking into a system with a fully custom version of Business Operating System that runs on 64 bit Motorola processors no one knows about but the CIA’s sysadmins.

    I know in reality they probably run Windows Vista on 12 year-old laptops or some shit and get hacked all the fucking time but I’d like to think someone had enough sense to not do that.

          You can have the most secure and secret OS in existence, and you’re failing miserably the moment it has unfettered access to the internet.

          On the flip side, literally any OS can be secure if it’s airgapped in a sealed room.

          There’s a happy medium in there, and that’s where most governments want to be.
