After basically the whole #Microsoft #Azure cloud was hacked (see list of related sources on https://karl-voit.at/cloud/ ), the first follow-up incidents went public caused by missing containment actions:

60,000 emails were stolen from 10 #USA #StateDepartment accounts

If you didn't understand until now: basically EVERYTHING at Microsoft got hacked and Microsoft can't (or won't) get rid of the intruders. Everything authenticated by Microsoft is tainted. Even #Windows auth.

Now that I have migrated some of my hosts to #NixOS, I do have a bad feeling because of #Microsoft and most probably GitHub being hacked.

As mentioned on https://www.karl-voit.at/2023/09/12/nix/ the deep #GitHub dependency turns out to be a real downer for this OS.

@publicvoit It doesn't have anything like Guix's fallbacks to (among other things) the #SoftwareHeritage archive?

That's all kinds of unfortunate.
