New by me - Microsoft Vibing. A very strange fake open source project published by Microsoft employees, which gathers screenshots and voice recordings of users with unique machine identifiers attached. Not sure how this one has happened.

Since publishing my blog, Yaoyao Chang, who authored Vibing, has removed references to it from Microsoft’s VibeVoice repo - marking the change as “removing outdated links”. https://github.com/microsoft/VibeVoice/commit/e73d1e17c3754f046352014856a922f8208fb5d3

I withheld a load of details from the blog on this so far btw, if you're a researcher and want a laugh pull the binaries and have a look at what the MS Research team were doing and poke the backend.

Something tells me Microsoft are going to end up freezing the Azure backend for Vibing and having a security incident.
