       It's rare to see near-universal condemnation from the infosec community, but Microsoft threatening a security researcher has done it.Notable exceptions: When Keeper Security sued Ars Technica over a story (2017); NSA's mass surveillance uncovered (2013); and FBI demanding an Apple backdoor (2016).https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/29/microsoft-under-fire-for-threatening-security-researcher-with-criminal-investigation/

       The brazenness of the FBI's and Keeper's bullshit, the NSA's vast scale of global hacking, and now Microsoft's veiled threats against researchers. These issues drew infosec's ire (rightfully so) because they're direct attacks on the fundamental work that infosec does — making things more secure. https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/29/microsoft-under-fire-for-threatening-security-researcher-with-criminal-investigation/
