The aftermath to the recent Microsoft Azure hack by suspected PRC actors.

What is the solution to this? Make sure cloud services are open source so they can be independently vetted? If government and corporate entities chose to use open source solutions, most are presented "as is" with no warranty.

Oh yeah. Of course old tpm (1.2) that was the only key to the Castle isn’t great in the hand of someone with some know how and alligator clips since it communicated in clear text at the bus level so key extraction was possible. But for most folks security model, who cares. If it was a risk the business handled it with a pass phrase and tpm.

Apple does security prettt well and integrated too. Especially for most that don’t care.
