THREAT INTEL: Software Giant increases vulnerability with Profit Over Security stance.

Microsoft Chose Profit Over Security

By doing so they Left the U.S. Government Vulnerable to Russian Hack, along with the rest of the world.

Former employee says software giant dismissed his warnings about a critical flaw because it feared losing government business. Russian hackers later used the weakness to breach the National Nuclear Security Administration, among others.

What chance do external experts stand when even internal experts are ignored and organizations like Microsoft place revenues and share value above security.

Once compromised, everyone is compromised. This is not simply a National scandal, but a Global scandal.
