The company's outreach follows criticism from the researcher, who accused Microsoft of mishandling the reporting process and failing to properly address the flaw. The move signals an effort to repair relations with the security community amid ongoing tensions over vulnerability disclosure practices.", "body_md": "**SPONSORED LINKS**\n\n### MOST POPULAR\n\n## EVENTS\n\n-\n### Overcoming the trade-offs in data sovereignty\n\nWhat does data sovereignty actually mean for your network, which trade-offs are unavoidable?
