Microsoft has confirmed that a code defect in Microsoft 365 Copilot allowed its Copilot Chat “work” experience to read and summarize emails that organizations had explicitly marked as confidential, bypassing sensitivity labels and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) protections — a failure tracked...

Microsoft’s flagship productivity assistant, Microsoft 365 Copilot, mistakenly read and summarized emails that organizations had explicitly marked as confidential, bypassing Data Loss Prevention (DLP) controls and triggering an urgent reassessment of how cloud AI features interact with...

Microsoft has confirmed a software error that allowed its Copilot for Microsoft 365 assistant to read and summarize emails marked as confidential, bypassing the Data Loss Prevention (DLP) controls organizations rely on — and the problem persisted long enough that many IT teams are now scrambling...

Microsoft’s flagship productivity AI for Microsoft 365 has a glaring privacy problem: for weeks a code error allowed Copilot Chat to read and summarize emails that organizations had explicitly labelled as confidential, bypassing Data Loss Prevention (DLP) controls and undermining a core tenant...

Ask an AI to build a ten‑slide deck for tomorrow’s client call and you’ll usually get something fast — but if the fonts drift, the logo slides, and each hue strays from your palette, you’ll spend the next hour undoing what the model did. The single most important technical question for...

Microsoft's latest Release Preview Channel rollup, KB5077241, quietly brings a practical mix of polish, new management hooks, and a handful of user-facing conveniences to Windows 11 versions 24H2 and 25H2 with build numbers 26100.7918 and 26200.7918.

The UAE’s Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MoHESR) has launched a formal R&D collaboration with Microsoft to design and prototype agentic AI systems for higher education — a coordinated effort to build four specialized AI agents that target career navigation, faculty course...

CISA’s catalog has just expanded again, and this time the additions hit the Windows stack: six Microsoft vulnerabilities — spanning Windows Shell, MSHTML, Office Word, Desktop Window Manager, Remote Access Connection Manager, and Remote Desktop Services — were added to the Known Exploited...

Microsoft’s recent changes have finally untangled one of Windows 11’s most persistent irritations: setting a third‑party browser as the operating system’s default is now far less painful than it was at launch, and regulatory pressure in Europe has pushed the company even further toward...

The arrival of AI agents inside enterprise environments has created a paradox for modern security teams: simultaneous promise and peril. Microsoft’s recent Cyber Pulse messaging and related security briefings argue that agentic AI—autonomous, tool-enabled assistants that can read, act, and...

Microsoft’s AI experiments have shifted a debated privacy trade-off from theory to practice: features like Windows Recall — designed to give Windows 11 a searchable “photographic memory” of your screen — have prompted privacy experts, independent developers, and regulators to ask whether the new...

Microsoft has quietly moved one of the security community’s most trusted tools out of the Sysinternals download bucket and into Windows itself, delivering native Sysmon functionality as an optional Windows 11 feature that can be enabled, updated, and (crucially) supported through Microsoft’s...
