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! 😏

Yes it can

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

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

Oh nevermind: /ˈfɹuːɡəl/ /ˈɡuː.ɡəl/

Which one were you saying wrong?

snek@lemmy.world on 19 Sep 2023 19:51 collapse

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.

snek@lemmy.world on 19 Sep 2023 23:51 collapse

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

ciko22i3@sopuli.xyz on 19 Sep 2023 11:27 collapse

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

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.

ChapolinColoradoNZ@lemmy.world on 19 Sep 2023 00:26 next collapse

Some of that data could be from (or for) customer use, like the service passwords.

crypticthree@lemmy.world on 19 Sep 2023 02:40 next collapse

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

GigglyBobble@kbin.social on 19 Sep 2023 04:37 next collapse

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

henfredemars@infosec.pub on 19 Sep 2023 04:59 collapse

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.

Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works on 19 Sep 2023 02:57 next collapse

Who TF is keeping secret keys on their dev machine, that shit is toxic. Not to mention passwords

xthexder@l.sw0.com on 19 Sep 2023 05:02 collapse

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.

ciko22i3@sopuli.xyz on 19 Sep 2023 11:23 collapse

What’s the other 37.9TB?

Llamajockey@lemmy.world on 19 Sep 2023 00:53 next collapse

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

ElBarto@sh.itjust.works on 19 Sep 2023 02:22 collapse

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.

Or boobs, even!

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)

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.

Only 38T eh?

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

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

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!

Accidental goatse from Microsoft. That a good time.
