Until now, Microsoft’s business model has involved charging customers extra for access to these logs. Logs, or computer files that gather artifacts about a hack, are critical to understanding and thwarting cyberattacks, according to experts. One of the victims of the hack was a human rights organization that could not detect the activity because they were not paying for a premium software license, according to US cybersecurity firm Volexity, which works with the human rights organization. The email accounts of Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo and State Department officials were breached in the activity, CNN has reported. The State Department says it detected the cyber activity in June and reported it to Microsoft. The campaign hit two-dozen organizations and became public last week. The move comes after cybersecurity officials privately expressed frustration that Microsoft had not done enough to detect the alleged Chinese cyber-espionage campaign, according to US officials.
The Wall Street Journal first reported on Microsoft’s policy change.
Starting in September, Microsoft cloud computing customers won’t have to pay extra money to get access to critical data to help them spot cyberattacks, Microsoft said Wednesday. In Windows, Tap “Start”, then “Settings”, then select “Apps” On the Apps & Features settings panel, find “Choose where to get apps” and change the setting to something other than “The Microsoft Store only”, since this option is the most restrictive.Microsoft is offering free cybersecurity tools to some government and commercial customers following criticism of the tech giant’s handling of a major alleged Chinese hack that compromised US government email accounts. If you do not have an “Install anyway” button, you’ll need to change the default for this Microsoft Store setting: What to do: If you see this message, simply click the “Install anyway” button, and the install should proceed.
This means that you may have set your Windows system to accept only applications that come from the Microsoft Store. If you’re running Windows 10 or Windows 11 on your PC, you might get a message that says “app you’re trying to install isn’t a Microsoft-verified app”.
