Lots of strong words against Microsoft, here.

, took to Microsoft-owned social platform LinkedIn to air his grievances against Microsoft's security practices.

Citing a letter sent by US Senator Ron Wyden to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency , the Department of Justice , and the Federal Trade Commission recently, Yoran calls for Microsoft to answer for the"lack of transparency" and a"repeated pattern of negligent cybersecurity practices, which has enabled Chinese espionage against the United States government" .

That's quite the accusation, and the Google Project Zero numbers seem to add insult to injury, as Yoran notes"Microsoft products have accounted for an aggregate 42.5% of all zero days discovered since 2014". Yoran's main argument centres around the Azure hack. He says members of Tenable's research team had been previously checking out any potential Azure security issues, only to quickly gain access to some pretty sensitive bank authentication details.

His team notified Microsoft as soon as they realised the severity of the issue, and Yoran is pretty upset with the seemingly blasé attitude taken over the matter.
