38TB of data accidentally exposed by Microsoft AI researchers
Wiz Research discovered a misconfigured shared access signature (SAS) token in Microsoft's AI GitHub repository that exposed approximately 38 terabytes of data, including over 30,000 internal Microsoft Teams messages. The exposure occurred through improper configuration rather than an active security breach. Microsoft secured the repository following the disclosure.
Why it matters: Organizations using GitHub and cloud storage must audit service account tokens and access credentials in code repositories, as misconfigured SAS tokens and similar authentication mechanisms commonly leak sensitive internal communications and proprietary data.

38TB of data accidentally exposed by Microsoft AI researchers
Wiz Research discovered a misconfigured shared access signature (SAS) token in Microsoft's artificial intelligence (AI) GitHub repository that exposed 38 terabytes of data. The leaked material included more than 30,000 internal Microsoft Teams messages and other sensitive information. Microsoft addressed the exposure after Wiz's responsible disclosure.
Why it matters: Organizations using GitHub and cloud storage should audit SAS token permissions and access controls, as a single misconfigured credential can expose massive volumes of internal communications and proprietary data.
