Microsoft reported that she had reduced the approach of some Chinese companies in her early warning system about cyberspace. The decision was made after the attacks on Shararepoint servers, which occurred in June and July this year. Some experts link these incidents with leaks of information from the Microsoft Activity Protection Program (MAPT).
Mapp was created for partners around the world, including China, which can be learned in advance about the holes found and reacted faster with them. However, after Microsoft informed the participants on the issues of June 24, July 3 and 7, the same day, positive efforts to operate the gaps began. This causes assumption that information can be used for other purposes.
Therefore, the company has decided to restrict Chinese partners to access evidence of concept code. This code is often used by cybersecurity experts to protect systems, but it can also be used for hackers for attacks.
Microsoft emphasized that she carefully monitors the work of participants and can suspend or exclude those who violate the terms of the agreement, including those involved in attacking networks.
