The reason why so many people fell for this attack was because it was carried out through malicious links embedded in documents. These links led to phishing websites but the anchor text of these links was “View Document”. Naturally, no one was suspicious of a text like that.

On one hand, I know we shouldn't blame people for falling for this stuff. People are often not educated well enough on the dangers and it's not reasonable to expect it. We should build things to be systematically secure even in the face of people falling for phishing.

On the other hand it's difficult not to be frustrated with this kind of thing... People really should know better than clicking random links and typing their password.

A better summary:

The text discusses a series of cybersecurity breaches affecting Microsoft, involving sensitive data theft from US government officials and organizations, attributed to Chinese hackers. Microsoft's delayed response to discovered security flaws, including a 90-day wait for a partial fix, is criticized. Senator Ron Wyden has called for Microsoft's accountability. The breaches underscore the growing issue of security vulnerabilities in tech companies, leading to expectations that the US government will require companies to promptly disclose security incidents within a strict timeframe.

every day i lose my mind a little more at how much trust hundreds of thousands of companies across the world place in third parties like microsoft to handle literally all of their sensitive data, as if that could be a good idea in any universe

Lol

This piece reads like it was generated by an LLM from prompts supplied by a twelve year old who knows nothing about cybersecurity. I was really looking forward to reading the article from the headline

What's sad is that my former university uses Microsoft products for literally everything and they think Duo is going to keep my uni email secure. Until they encrypt that bitch and enhance their security that email is as good as dead
