  @Microsoft - You make it IMPOSSIBLE to login and cancel an Office 365 business subscription to Visio. I have been hung up on no fewer than three times by your AI assistant midway through my support call. I cannot log in because, while my business Office365 account exists in my Authenticator app, no code or request to approve ever appears. Endless loop of no help. Calling support and being forced to have a converation with the AI assistant is futile. It just hangs up for no reason before the issue is addressed. No ticket number, nothing. I have directed American Express to block future charges for the subscription. I will contact my state attorney general's office if this is not resolved.

  Passwords get stolen. MFA prompts get approved. Rob Allen explains why some organizations are now locking SaaS apps like Office 365, GitHub, and Salesforce to specific trusted IP paths instead of exposing login access to the entire internet. Even if an attacker has credentials, they still can’t connect unless traffic comes from the approved location. Is location-based access control becoming the next layer after MFA? #Cybersecurity #SaaS #IdentitySecurity

  There's a question I get asked constantly by investors building individual accounts: how much of a single name is too much? Been sitting with this in the context of the Revere Gro and Rair exposure framework circulating around $MSFT positions. The model tries to map concentration risk across growth-rate sensitivity and rate-cycle sensitivity - not a bad starting structure. But I think it locates the problem slightly wrong. For a long-horizon value investor, risk management is not primarily about volatility. It's about permanent capital impairment. Those are genuinely different things, and conflating them leads to genuinely different mistakes. MSFT at current prices trades around 32-33x forward earnings. P/B north of 13. EV/EBITDA in the high 20s depending on the quarter. Not cheap multiples by historical standards - even for a business generating the FCF that Microsoft does. And the FCF is real: Azure margin expansion, Office 365 recurring, Activision slowly integrating. The capital allocation story holds up - disciplined buybacks, a growing dividend, R&D spend that's actually productive rather than defensive. ROIC consistently above cost of capital. The moat is not in question. But here's the thing about exposure management in individual accounts specifically: when you hold a concentrated position in a company priced for near-perfection, your margin of safety becomes structural rather than mathematical. You can't just point at the balance sheet and call it hedged. The Rair framing - rate-adjusted intrinsic return - is useful because it forces the right question: if the 10-year rises another 100bps from here, does this company's intrinsic value hold? For MSFT, probably yes. The business doesn't need cheap debt to function. It generates cash in almost any macro environment. The moat doesn't erode with rates. But position sizing is where individual investors chronically underperform. Institutions manage downside scenarios as a daily operational function. Individual investors size based on conviction - and conviction is not risk management. Conviction is the justification for taking risk. Risk management is the system of rules that governs how much risk you actually accept. Practical framework, after holding through multiple cycles: - If you can articulate the bear case (multiple compression, Azure growth deceleration, AI capex overhang not yet reflected in FCF) and still sleep at night at 10-12% allocation, that's probably the rational ceiling for a concentrated individual book. - If a 20% drawdown in this one name would materially alter your financial situation, you've crossed from investing into speculating on management quality and multiple expansion. The Revere Gro side of the concept is really just another way of saying: don't let a great company become a great risk by virtue of how much of your book it occupies. The business quality and the position size are separate questions that individual investors routinely collapse into one. Balance sheet analysis matters. FCF trajectory matters. They're inputs into a position-sizing decision - not substitutes for one. That distinction is the actual heart of risk management in individual accounts, and most frameworks bury it. Long MSFT. Have been for years. Never let it exceed 12% of the book regardless of how strongly I believe in the thesis. That ceiling is a feature.

  @Microsoft365 To use Scout, you need: 1. to be part of the Frontier Preview Program 2. need Office 365 Copilot Access 3. need local admin privileges on the device 4. your IT Admin needs to configure Frontier. 5. your IT Admin needs to configure InTune policy for Scout 6. your local IT Admin needs to agree to (attest to) and opt-in their organisation to third party inference paths. Note: "When data is sent to GitHub Copilot, M365 data residency, retention, eDiscovery, legal hold, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Sensitivity and Confidentiality Labels, audit, SLAs, and the Customer Copyright Commitment do not apply." Here is why this matters: If 'AI' extracts a list of sensitive intellectual property or customer data from a labeled document and pastes it into a new response, that new response has no label. A user could easily copy and paste that text into an external email or a public generative AI tool without triggering any data loss prevention alerts. Regulatory frameworks require strict auditing of where sensitive data travels. Because the new content does not inherit the source classification, your automated compliance systems lose track of that data. The responsibility shifts entirely to the end user to manually classify every single output generated by the AI session, which frequently leads to human error.

  The new revelation regarding windows GDID probably has pissed off various “3 letter” agencies around the world. It’s been a staple of easily tracking you and I. Too bad. Glad it’s been outed. I’ve switched out the various laptops I use for online activities such as this one for a certain Linux distribution as well as modified their hardware a bit. Yes, you can be tracked by what’s in your computer. Change it around a bit if possible. Don’t use the same box you pay bills and work remotely on to get on social media. -Proton VPN- DON’T EVER use a Microsoft account. Sign into your windows computer with an old school local account. This is a must. You can search for how to do it. Office 365 can be permanently activated on your computer as a local installation. Do it. (Massgrave) Better yet, use Libre Office and enjoy not being tracked by Office 365. I Google scans your Gmail. Be aware of it. There’s better email providers (Proton). Nobody is perfect but some are orders of magnitude less “nosey.” Download DoNotSpy11. You want to turn OFF virtually everything. You’ll be amazed at what you can shut down. Turn OFF your location / eye tracking / motion detection on your laptop if you don’t do anything else. There is at least one windows GDID changer powershell script I tested. It worked. If you sign into a MS account, you’ll get the same GDID right back so don’t use that MS account going forward. Not going into phone safety or Flock cameras or new vehicles in this post. I’ll just say this: Any time your phone/iPad etc is not inside of an rf-proof bag/case, it’s going to talk to something somewhere, even if it is “off.” You can buy those bags on Amazon cheap. Get one. If you have a newer car (on-star) it tells servers where the car is constantly. Review: Learn Linux. It’s open source, not full of spyware. Get a ham radio license. Keep your 10 year old Toyota forever. Pay with cash sometimes just to switch it up a bit and make the cashier learn to count 😎. Be aware of what devices you use that tattle on your activities and govern yourself accordingly. A little misdirection or just being quieter on social media never hurts, either. Okay end of my coffee-laden ramblings. Hopefully this helped some of you. 🇺🇸

  @paul_e_jones No, I have zero business with GoDaddy. But I have to deal with them for an issue that they caused through Microsoft office 365's design. The problem is that a domain name that belongs to my client used to belong to a company that used to have a Microsoft office 365 account provided through the vendor. GoDaddy. GoDaddy sells office 365 accounts. What happens is a domain name previously used with Microsoft office 365 but then the account expires and is never renewed because the company that held the domain name went out of business and sold in bankruptcy. Two company transitions later and we acquire the domain. So we go to set up Microsoft office 365 only to be hit with a message that we cannot provision the domain on their platform because of a previous tenant that just doesn't exist anymore in the real world. That business vanished a long time ago.

  @gabefollower Those lawsuits from those companies are straight up retarded. They claim Valve is monopoly and then in next sentence they say that 30% cut is too much. What they think will happen if Valve lowers it to like 15%. Consumers will choose Steam less? Hell no, they will like Steam even more then. As a result those companies will cry wolf even more that Steam is monopoly. Competition offers trash service, tries to bait with discounts and loses and them cries like babies. C’mon now. Epic owner cries every day about Valve and Steam and his “Game Launcher” is still mega slow and looks more like launcher for Office 365 than game launcher.

  Microsoft Threat Intelligence (@MsftSecIntel) reported 17 minutes ago

  Microsoft Threat Intelligence has identified a cluster of compromised websites displaying ClickFix lures and using EtherHiding, a technique associated with the ClearFake campaign. An injected Base64-encoded JavaScript contacts a BNB Smart Chain RPC gateway to query a smart contract previously reported in connection with ClearFake to fetch next-stage instructions. Content stored in a smart contract is resistant to conventional takedown or sinkholing because only the owner of the cryptocurrency wallet that deployed it can make changes. Users are presented with a fake CAPTCHA that instructs them to open the Windows Run dialog, paste clipboard content, and press Enter to execute an attacker-supplied command under the guise of verification. We’re seeing multiple forms of command obfuscation and living-off-the-land abuse, including conhost, cmd, PowerShell, pcalua, mshta, rundll32, msiexec, curl, WMI, WebDAV, and scheduled tasks. Carets split keywords, environment variables hide interpreters, and Windows run headlessly or minimized. TerminalFix lures apply the same technique but direct users to Windows Terminal or PowerShell instead of the Run dialog. This campaign demonstrates that ClickFix and TerminalFix are a high-volume initial access technique. Microsoft reports campaigns targeting thousands of enterprise and consumer devices globally every day, while some malvertising chains can funnel visitors to scam pages. Numerous actors use the technique to deliver Lumma Stealer and other infostealers, RATs such as Xworm and AsyncRAT, loaders including MintsLoader, and remote management tools. A single successful execution can expose credentials, establish persistence, enable lateral movement, and create a path to human-operated ransomware and potential domain compromise. Microsoft recommends that organizations enable Microsoft Defender network, web, and cloud-delivered protection; restrict Run and command-line tools where not required; enable PowerShell script-block logging; and implement application control. Users should never paste commands from CAPTCHAs, browser errors, emails, ads, or unsolicited support pages into Run, Terminal, PowerShell, or Command prompt. Microsoft Defender XDR provides layered protection across the ClickFix attack chain. Defender SmartScreen and Defender for Office 365 help block malicious sites, links, attachments, and fake CAPTCHA lures, while Defender for Endpoint detects suspicious command execution and outbound connections through alerts like “Suspicious command in RunMRU registry”, “Possible ClickFix activity”, “Possible initial access from an emerging threat”. Microsoft Defender Antivirus blocks malicious command execution using detections such as Trojan:Win32/ClickFix.* and Trojan:Win32/TermFix.*. Treat these alerts as evidence of a potential initial access incident: isolate affected devices, investigate credential exposure and persistence, and hunt for related activity.

  @omninomsky @jiya_3063 WSL helps on windows, and has been quite amazing really. That said, one big "reason" for developing "preferring" windows really comes down to corporate governance and office tools. Many businesses run off Office 365, sharepoint, etc. Yes, you can run these in a browser, but with limitations. Another big reason is governance of machines. Machines are imaged, sent out and a good 25% of their utilization is just off of software like antivirus, threat scanning, etc. It's pretty inefficient, in my view, but can be an uphill battle to change it.

  Holy **** GoDaddy is among the worst companies on the planet. Been trying desperately to get them to fix the issue with a domain name previously owned by another company who in the past, used Office 365. Now that my client owns the domain, we can't seem to get them to remove the domain. Microsoft support has been non-existent as well. They assigned a dude to the case, but then he dropped the ball and won't reply to me.

  @asaio87 SaaS isn’t dead , but certain SaaS products that aren’t complex and that don’t have risk associated with them will be , and the rest will be open for disruption, especially on price. Not unlike when I automated the backend network/server/os/app layer of office 365 for Microsoft a decade plus ago , allowing them to reduce the per seat cost like 50% or something crazy.

  @AiwithLucas_ Your analogies fail. These AI agents are still using M$ tools. If Netflix used Blockbuster as the source for their videos, Blockbuster would still be around. The Goodyear analogy works because just as self driving cars still rely on tires, AI will still rely on M$ services. Switching to "background infrastructure" does not hurt M$. M$ makes MORE money off of server apps and cloud services, such as Active Directory, Exchange Server, SQL Server, Azure, etc, than it does from the Office 365 services you're talking about AI reducing. Where do you think AI agents live?

  "GitHub's scale is unprecedented." No, it really isn't. GitHub: 150M total users. Office 365: 345M total users. Xbox: 500M monthly active users. Bing: 100M+ daily active users. The company that runs Office, Xbox and Bing can run GitHub. If reliability is slipping, that's a priorities problem, not a scale problem.

  @Trace_Cohen The long tail uses of AI are enormous. There are so many things that open self-hosted models enable that are off the table with centralized controlled models. Think of *nix on satellites, rather than them phoning Redmond for a license renewal, as an illustrative example. I already see a higher exponential growth in brains investing in open models than frontier models. Similar to how when I worked at Microsoft, the best were all using *nix and *** at home. It will only hang on to the frontier if it can government capture. Now that's a huge possibility, perhaps even greater than 50%. I mean Microsoft's software is terrible, (Windows, Azure, Office 365), and yet crushes it because of gov capture. It would be financially reckless to short without accurately modeling that risk. But in a free market, open >> closed.

  🎣 DFIR Suite API Spotlight: CheckPhish URL Scan You're triaging a suspected phishing email. The URL looks clean in VirusTotal. No hits in your threat intel feeds. But something feels off. This is where POST /phishing/checkphish earns its keep. It scans URLs in real-time using CheckPhish's detection engine — purpose-built to catch live phishing pages, tech support scams, and brand impersonation attempts that haven't made it into static blacklists yet. What you get back: disposition (clean/suspicious/phishing), the brand being targeted (Microsoft, PayPal, etc.), and a screenshot of the rendered page. That screenshot alone can confirm what logs can't — whether it's a convincing Office 365 login clone or a legitimate site. Practical scenario: User forwards you a "verify your account" email with a shortened link. You expand it, run it through /phishing/checkphish, and within seconds you have a verdict and visual proof. No need to spin up a sandboxed browser or wait for threat intel to catch up. Costs 2 credits per request. Available on all plans at hXXps://platform[.]dfir-lab[.]ch It's a fast, reliable check for the URLs that don't trigger your existing defenses — but probably should. #DFIR #ThreatIntel
