According to Microsoft whistleblower Andrew Harris, Microsoft spent years ignoring a vulnerability while he proposed fixes to the "security nightmare." Instead, Microsoft feared it might lose its government contract by warning about the bug and allegedly downplayed the problem

This says everything about this shitty company. Worst of the worst. Because that’s how they make 90% of their cash. By exploiting licensing deals and siphoning data to sell to whomever because they do not care who it is so long as they bid the highest.

It’s amazing no one has tried to break up their control over PCs. Make this world make sense.

Normally I wouldn’t take comments like this to heart. But I tried the latest beta recently after maybe 15y and wow. You’re totally bang on. I was stunned how bad the UI was. How bad the app was. Upon reading this, it all just sort of makes sense.

I’m sad things are so bad on the Linux front that this is the most highly rated design tool. Linux community deserves better.

In all my dealings with government entities, they were fucking clueless. Even the trained ones. Look over and all their PCs run Windows 95. Government websites look like they were coded by Homer Simpson.

But somehow, they got all this awesome, secret tech? I don’t buy it. Their power is in their numbers and endless budgets with very little recourse for fucking up. Not from being smart or even competent at their jobs.

Your PC looks to have been the attack vector given all those password requests.

Sign out of your PC and anything else. Using your phone, sign into iCloud and change your password. Remove all you’d devices, expect your phone.

Don’t sign in anywhere else. Wait and monitor your account.

If that works, then start running a scan on your PC. Because it’s likely you have malware on it. Your iPhone (unless you jailbroke it) is secure.

It unlikely the hacker infiltrated iCloud or is doing anything other than copying the password you keep re entering on your PC.
