yep, they go through the front .... I would like to see AI do a little bit of proofreading. Is that too much to expect AI?
Apparently so. I've been commenting about their lack of care for ages. Lack of care in proofreading doesn't inspire much trust in content validity.
But then again, these days we have to hunt down sources and fact-check every damn piece of news we are presented, or risk being misinformed or outright lied to. Lovely how advertising-focused media puts the responsibility of content validity on the audience...
Sure, sure. Of course I have. That's why I too hope that MS contacts the 10 people whom are impacted by this leak and tell them to trash their device and get iPads and Macs.
I'm assuming that your saying 10 people because you've never heard of the PC gaming market which is pretty much dominated by Windows. They're not going to switch to an IPad or Macs, they play hard core games, not candy crush...
Apple's serious approach to security has enabled the company to take a leading roll in supplying computing devices to enterprise buyers, one of the markets Windows Phone has made very little progress in, and a market segment that has purposely shunned the sloppy security associated with Google's Android.
Here's hoping Daesh doesn't capture any of those Windows Phones our US military are using in Iraq and Syria. Oh wait! The US military no longer uses MS and Android phones and tablets in the field! Correct? Too insecure! You would think that would be a clue the FBI could fathom!

Crib the information from other sites and get it out as fast as you can. If you don't then folk will read the copied story at another 'news aggregation' site and your site loses the ad clicks.
Microsoft has demonstrated why the FBI's desire for "Golden Key" backdoors allowing "good guys" to bypass security is such a bad idea: it inadvertently released its own keys to Windows tablets, phones, HoloLens and other devices using UEFI Secure Boot.
Thereby demonstrating that security cannot hold a candle to user stupidity.
So, this exploit makes buying a Surface RT actually worthwhile, since I can put something else on it.
As for this being a mistake, the conspiracist in me almost says MS did it on purpose, to deliberately highlight why it's bad to have such "golden keys." I'm not sure they're that selfless, though.

The researchers involved in documenting Microsoft's screwup observed, "About the FBI: are you reading this? If you are, then this is a perfect real world example about why your idea of backdooring cryptosystems with a "secure golden key" is very bad!
I'm glad they said it. I would have said it but I doubt the FBI would pay much attention to me.
Of course the US Government was paying attention. They were probably quietly working on this "backdoor" and everything got ruined like someone walking in early on a surprise party. Only with this the "surprise!" would have been in form of several figures dressed in dark clothing arriving right before no one would see the guest of honor ever again.

The bad part of all this is the Golden Key was printed on one of those stickers plastered ons.Windows Computers.
