Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) said a misconfiguration of an internal
customer support database led to exposure of certain data.
The company said its investigation "found no malicious use" and
said "most customers did not have personally identifiable
information exposed."
Microsoft said a change made to the database's network security
group on Dec. 5 contained misconfigured security rules. Engineers
remediated the configuration on Dec. 31, the company said.
Microsoft said "the vast majority of records were cleared of
personal information in accordance with our standard
practices."
