The Microsoft unit working to thwart hackers

I’m sure this group is good but jeez this is a lot of praise for a company whose security record is … uh … less than stellar

Someone also said that and got flagged. I guess some people deserve it.

And to do all sorts of other things, I imagine.

I know a guy on this team. Top bloke, good at what he does. quite keen at doing it well.

If that any indicator of the rest of the team its an impressive line up.

I also knew some good programmers who went to Microsoft. And there is also Mark Rusinovitsch. But the overall quality and security of Microsoft software sucks big time. And their breaches (AD, Outlook) are legendary.

these guys dont write software, they hunt search and monitor. they help find how you got hacked and walk you through how to recover.
