The U.S. government has acknowledged a recent Microsoft breach that has exposed federal agencies to hacking risks. The breach highlights critical flaws in Microsoft products that allow for code execution and data theft, as warned by CERT-In. Despite being the world's largest seller of cybersecurity defenses, Microsoft has faced a series of major cybersecurity failures over the years. The company is now attempting to address longstanding issues in its cybersecurity infrastructure. Experts argue that the U.S. government's reliance on Microsoft's systems, coupled with Microsoft's market dominance and savvy PR, has allowed the company to avoid significant oversight, despite repeated security lapses and calls by Biden officials for corporate accountability.
