    Did Microsoft officially stop caring about security or is this more of a fad, like when everything was tiles for a while?

      We gotta give them a reason to care before they will do anything about it. How many companies have suffered major data breaches over the past 5 years with basically no consequences?

        Just leave Microsoft

        Oh wait, everything depends on windows. Boy we have created a monster

          I can, but it would take a lot of effort to do so. I will look into it, but a lot of my video games still rely on Windows. However, for MS to change and care it would require a mass exodus on the corporate level, which will never happen.

      To be fair Microsoft has never cared much about security. See the windows server (a relatively niche os on servers) second entry in this stat: https://www.statista.com/statistics/701020/major-operating-systems-targeted-by-ransomware/.

      It is just that nowadays this kind of issues are more in the news because of “russian cyber criminals”, while in the past no one really cared.

      Not that I complain… Visibility is actually a good thing

        It’s not relatively niche on SMBs though. It’s a major target so it’ll always get hit.

          It’s far less common than linux oses… In any type of servers, including data storages. It is THE major target because it is a bad OS, nowadays primarily used by companies that haven’t a good IT for the typical file shares used by tech illiterates easily victims of social engineering attacks. It’s a explosive combination that results in that stat… Practically 100 % of successful ransomware attacks on servers is on windows servers, despite overall being much less used than competitors

      The more staff a company has, the more chance of mistakes/idiots.

      They should have scans to pick a lot of this up though.
