Some major shade thrown Microsoft’s way.

Did I report these issues to Microsoft? Microsoft has made it clear that they will not fix issues only affecting PP and PPL in a security bulletin. Without a security bulletin the researcher receives no acknowledgement for the find, such as a CVE. The issue will not be fixed in current versions of Windows although it might be fixed in the next major version. Previously confirming Microsoft’s policy on fixing a particular security issue was based on precedent, however they’ve recently published a list of Windows technologies that will or will not be fixed in the Windows Security Service Criteria which, as shown below for Protected Process Light, Microsoft will not fix or pay a bounty for issues relating to the feature. Therefore, from now on I will not be engaging Microsoft if I discover issues which I believe to only affect PP or PPL.

Asking for a friend…

Google One (https://one.google.com/) is a plan that allows Google users to pay for Drive space (used by Google Drive itself, but also Google Photos and Gmail). Pricing starts at $1.99/month for 100GB of Drive space plus some other benefits.

What would you say if one of these additional benefits was continued access to a public instance of Google+ after the “consumer shutdown” next year? Would you pay to use Google+ – or if you’re already on a paid plan, would you continue to use Google+ under these circumstances?
