Congressman Thompson concerned about transparency at Microsoft at hearing on cybersecurity
House Homeland Security Committee Ranking Democrat Bennie Thompson says opening a hearing with Microsoft President Brad Smith about the company's cybersecurity failures that concerns about Microsoft's transparency have been exacerbated by recent revelations in a ProPublica article detailing how the company ignored an employee's warning about a vulnerability in its Active Directory Federation Services in 2017, which was later exploited by Russian hackers in the SolarWinds attack of 2020, and further compounded by Microsoft's subsequent denial of any such exploitation in Senate testimony, highlighting a perceived drift from Bill Gates' 2002 commitment to prioritize security over features and underscoring the critical need for Microsoft to rebuild trust through enhanced transparency and a renewed focus on resolving security issues.
