The LLM that wrote this nearly content-free story doesn't know what it's talking about. The basic distinction in the infosec industry is that advisories are what you publish to tell customers that you had a bug in your product that might have exposed them or their data to attacks and you want them to take some specific action (e.g., upgrade a package, review logs); while an incident report is what you publish when you know that the damage happened, it involved your infrastructure, and you want to share some details about happened and how you're going to prevent it from happening again. Because the latter invites a lot more public attention and regulatory scrutiny, a company like Microsoft will go out of their way to stick to advisories whenever possible (or just keep incidents under wraps). It might have happened at some points in their history, but off the top of my head, I don't recall Microsoft ever publishing a first-party security incident report. | ||
