>> The affected products include Microsoft Entra, Sentinel, Defender for Cloud, and Purview, according to the Business Insider report.

Oof. Entra (formerly Azure Active Directory) being impacted is rough. But who needs SSO logs?

There was a time when we looked at the sky and didn't think about asteroids hitting the earth. Ignorance is bliss.

-- btw, when they listed Entra, I thought it was Encarta. I momentarily so excited that still existed.

That animation when it was searching... it was so amazing back then, you could "feel" the knowledge and facts unfolding in one's computer.

The same users then revolted at travel sites returning results too fast, so they had spinners to show they were hard at work compiling results.

I'm kind of sad for the people that didn't get to experience the magic of book encyclopedia -> encyclopedia on CD-ROM -> Wikipedia.

It was a lot of amazing change to live through! (Cue grade school teachers reminding students that Wikipedia isn't a valid source)

Jesus Christ, MS. Pick a name and stick to it. Azure Active Directory wasn't great, but the constant rebranding of everything all the time is exhausting.

Microsoft are hilariously bad at naming and I don't think they'll ever improve

MS drops products faster than Google. But they go through the hassle of creating a completely redundant one, porting all the users, and only then killing the old one.

Some times the new one is even an improvement over the one they are killing... I mean... it's not the rule, but it happens here and there.

Rumors are that people expected AAD to be "AD, but in the cloud!" and were sorely disappointed to find out that it wasn't.

This is a good source of jokes in Spanish, as entra means "You, come inside/get in" (as being called to enter in a room/building/space).

Uh, we do. Have compliance obligations. Fortunately our production systems are NOT integrated into Entra. Only the non-customer stuff.

I'm definitely reading

Look, you can claim to drink coffee, or you can spell "humor" with an "ou", but not both :)

Haha :)

Sod tea. Nasty stuff. Right to chuck it in the sea!

You can if you learnt BrE in school…

Or if English isn't your first language...

Well you're still hosed if investigating a back office breach.

Hey I want advance knowledge of how hosed everyone is so I can get my resume out first.

> But who needs SSO logs?

You don't. Without logs, there is no compromise.
