The extent of the security breach at Microsoft is still a complete mystery. Microsoft is keeping its cards close to its chest, and the affected government agencies and organizations are mostly silent too. Nobody knows the scale of the damage.

What's particularly shocking is that Microsoft itself didn’t catch the hack. Instead, it was spotted by an Azure customer using a paid tool. Although this tool is set to become free, shouldn’t Microsoft have noticed something was off? How can clients now have peace of mind, not knowing if more master keys may have been compromised? Microsoft's silence and disastrous approach to communication only add fuel to the fire. That's what c't magazine is calling out in their aptly titled piece, “When Clouds Burst,” citing sources from heise.
