Great to see you and many other researchers. Lots of amazing reports and discussions with researchers, product teams, and MSRC.
I had a very good time at the first day of #ZeroDayQuest, enjoyed chatting w/ many talented fellow researchers and learning how they do Cloud and AI research. And of course, pitched ideas to make the Office bounty program even better for defeating real-world attacks. :). Thanks.
