Not good enough, it should have cancelled the feature altogether.

Even the cancellation is not good enough. The fact that this was even entertained shows how disconnected Microsoft is from the real world. If they can get this so wrong what else are they getting wrong.

That's never really been a priority for them. Can you get something wrong that you weren't trying to get right in the first place?

They did tell their employees to prioritize security above all else, right before not doing that.

[–] seven_phone@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

So by implication they have not been telling their teams that since when, Windows95?

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 months ago

Yeah, that was basically my reaction, too. There was also some news that the CEO would now be taking responsibility for security, which had me similarly questioning what the hell they were doing so far.
Surely, the CEO is responsible for everything. So, did they just completely forget that security is also part of that?
