Yep. Not OP's fault, but clearly the author of the original article has no clue what they are even reporting about. And putting "We were hacked" after a colon sounds like a direct quote, which nobody in their right mind would have used in this context.
i wonder if microsoft could sue the newspaper for what is, essentially, slander
Interesting - I wonder if this "hack" (side note: article's author needs a slap in the face with a fucking chair) still would've happened had they not moved the Office from Akamai to their own Azure CDN..?
