Microsoftâs Great Cloud Party: Foreign Spies Welcome!
Holy security plot twist, Batman! Microsoft decided to stop using China-based engineers to support Pentagonâs cloud systems after ProPublica exposed the risk of hacking and espionage. But wait, "Microsoft has also used its global workforce... including China-based personnel" for other powerful government agencies like Justice and EPA. Experts warn, 'even unclassified data can reveal insights that could harm U.S. interests.' Microsoftâs digital escort system tried to babysit these foreign tech wizards, but oversight was a bit like putting the fox in charge of the henhouse. Now, Microsoft promises a review and beefed-up security, so "everything happens for a reason!"
