Here is a remarkable section where Microsoft tells the CSRB that it realized its initial public statements about the incident were inaccurate but that it didn't want to update those statements because doing so would "entail disclosure of attorney-client privileged information."

Thanks to the CSRB for its work on this important issue. @CISAgov plans to convene major CSPs to develop cloud security practices aligned with the CSRB recommendations and a process for CSPs to regularly attest to & demonstrate alignment.
Today the Cyber Safety Review Board released its independent review of the Summer 2023 Microsoft Exchange Online intrusion laying out what led to the intrusion & what industry & gov't can do to ensure an intrusion at this magnitude does not happen again. https://t.co/pf5Vx2kuuo

I am disappointed and infuriated that CTI League members are being made into villains. Groups like this are critical and enable cyber defenders to take quick action. I'm worried about the chilling effect this could have on crucial info sharing, especially public-private.
I have released a statement about our work in the CTI League. Yesterday I provided this and additional material as testimony to congress. Today we have made our github public and opened up all our files. https://t.co/jHrJEzCkgB Details are in this statement. 1/5

The UK gov just attributed COLDRIVER (UNC4057/Callisto/Star Blizzard) to FSB Center 18 and summoned the Russian ambassador. They carry out fairly typical Russian cyber espionage, but their habit of leaking stolen documents makes them interesting. 1/x

These two ETFs mimic the holding of Democrats and Republicans based on their disclosure filings. The Democrats (blue) are outperforming not only the Republicans (red) but also the S&P 500 (black). As I note in the chart title, is this because Democrats are better investors, or

It's still early days for this AI-powered phishing revolution. Multiple cyber firms said they were only seeing limited use of AI. But adversaries' innovation suggests that that will change. When computing power “becomes cheap enough,” @bsware said, “many things are possible.”
