Quick Glance: US government faults Microsoft for errors in Chinese hacker attack
- A US government review found that Microsoft committed a series of avoidable errors that allowed Chinese hackers to access the tech giant's network last year and later breach the email accounts of senior US officials.
- Microsoft was specifically criticized for not adequately protecting a sensitive cryptographic key, enabling hackers to remotely log into their targets' Outlook accounts by forging credentials.

- Microsoft announced plans to enhance its security practices for software development and user protection following the alleged Chinese hacking incident and scrutiny of its security practices by US lawmakers.
