The issue here is Microsoft, but watch who is being attributed the blame

That's like Microsoft's media moles blaming "Go" for malware that is merely written using Go

Summary: This week I found out that a dear old friend lost all his money (about 150,000 pounds) due to a Microsoft LinkedIn scam; watch how Microsoft blames unpopular nation states, "open source", the victims, and attackers (basically anyone but Microsoft), just as it does when defects in its software go unfixed for months
