Week in review: Records allegedly stolen from Azure tenants, Medusa ransomware hits 500+ orgs

A weekly roundup covering multiple security stories: researchers demonstrated a way to bypass Windows 11's strongest security defenses without physical access, requiring only privileged system access. Additional stories included law enforcement action against a cybercrime ring and reports of Medusa ransomware affecting over 500 organizations, along with alleged data theft from Azure tenants.

Why it matters: Windows administrators need to prioritize privileged access controls since attackers with system-level permissions can defeat core protections; organizations should assess exposure to Medusa ransomware and monitor for Azure tenant compromise.
