"The creator of the open source WireGuard VPN software [was] locked out of his Microsoft developer account, and as a result cannot sign drivers or ship updates for WireGuard for Windows users ...
In the case of VeraCrypt ... its developer [said] being locked out of his account means he is unable to update the software in time for a crucial certificate authority expiry, which... may prevent some users from booting up"
Microsoft required ID checks for Windows partners, suspending accounts and blocking updates for VeraCrypt, WireGuard, and Windscribe. 🔒
