    Before the Federal Trade Commission Washington, DC In the Matter of ) ) Microsoft Corporation. ) _____________________________ ) Complaint and Request for Injunction, Request For Investigation and for Other Relief INTRODUCTION 1. This complaint concerns the privacy implications of the Microsoft XP operating system that is expected to become the primary means of access for consumers in the United States to the Internet. As is set forth in detail below, Microsoft has engaged, and is engaging, in unfair and deceptive trade practices intended to profile, track, and monitor millions of Internet users. Central to the scheme is a system of services, known collectively as “.NET,” which incorporate “Passport,” “Wallet,” and “HailStorm” that are designed to obtain personal information from consumers in the United States unfairly and deceptively. The public interest requires the Commission to investigate these practices and to enjoin Microsoft from violating Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, as alleged herein. PARTIES 2. The Electronic Privacy Information Center (“EPIC”) is a non-profit, public interest research organization incorporated in the District of Columbia. EPIC’s activities include the review of government and private sector polices and practices to determine their possible impact on the privacy interests of the American public.

    Challenges to Building Scalable Services A Survey of Microsoft’s Internet Services MSR-TR-2015-29 Comments from the Authors: This paper was originally circulated as a Microsoft Confidential memo in fall 1999. Its purpose was to document the findings of the co-authors as we attempted to understand the state-of-the-art of large internet services. Our original intent was to gather the data documented in this paper purely for our own to understand. However, as we discussed early findings with our colleagues, we quickly realized the value of circulating them to a wider audience. The original memo was circulated to Microsoft’s entire executive staff and quickly passed around. From file server data, we believe over 1,000 MS employees read the original memo in the first three months after internal publication. This release of the memo has been modified slightly from the original to remove non- technical information, such as business plans. Due to an unfortunate oversight on my part, the original memo did not name each of the people we interviewed. Those pioneers deserved recognition at the time and their groundbreaking work deserves now to be remembered by history. In the 15 years since this paper’s circulation, much has changed at Microsoft and in the industry. Experience gathered in writing this paper directly lead to our discovery of the core principles of what is now widely known as cloud computing. In 1999, Microsoft’s largest internet service had just over 2,000 computers. Today, many cloud services use over 100,000 servers. Many of the services and technologies described in this paper no longer exist.

If you have an older computer and would like to purchase Windows 10, it starts at $119. Find out more at: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/get- windows-10 Signing in There are two ways to sign in to your Windows 10 computer: with a local account or a Microsoft account. A local account means all of your files and settings are only accessible on the computer you log into. (Just like usual, to many of us!) A Microsoft account (Outlook, Hotmail, Live, MSN) allows you to sync your information between multiple devices, and would even let you sign into your account from a friend’s Windows 10 device. You need a Microsoft account to use features like Cortana, download from the Windows Store, and activate Find My Device. If you don’t have a Microsoft account, Windows 10 will walk you through setting one up. You can switch between a local and Microsoft account at any time.

  • Troubleshooting Microsoft Dial up Networking Errors with the Express XRT and Express 3000
    Troubleshooting Microsoft Dial Up Networking Errors with the Express XRT and Express 3000 If a Dial Up Networking connection is unable to connect various errors may be displayed by the Windows Operating System. A list of specific errors along with their suggested solution is listed below, however, often the best approach to troubleshooting why the connection was not successful is to check the status buffer messages by completing the following steps: 1. Launch the ADTRAN Express Configuration software (ships with the unit) by selecting PROGRAMS > ADTRAN > ADTRAN EXPRESS CONFIGURATION. Select the DIAGNOSTICS menu (on the left side of the window). Click the STATUS BUFFER button (for the Local Unit) and a list of the status buffer displays. Clear this buffer by clicking the CLEAR BUFFER button. Close the buffer window by clicking the CLOSE button. Exit Express Configuration Software by clicking EXIT. 2. Attempt your outbound call again. 3. Launch the ADTRAN Express Configuration software and display the status buffer messages (see Step 1 above). 4. Review the status messages. The entries are in reverse order, with the most recent entry displayed on line 1. Telephone company messages are in upper case and have underscores between words (for example, NETWORK_BUSY, NO_ROUTE_TO_DEST, and INCOMPATIBLE_DEST). Refer to the Express 3000 manual for error message definitions. NOTE: If there are no entries in the status buffer, the dialer you are using is not communicating with the Express 3000. Check the setup of your dialer and verify that it is configured to use the Express 3000. Dial Up Networking Errors and Solutions DUNS ERROR 602 - The port is already open.

  • A Hunting Story: What’S Hiding in Powershell Scripts and Pastebin Code? Saudi Actors
    RECORDED FUTURE THREAT INTELLIGENCE REPORT A Hunting Story: What’s Hiding in PowerShell Scripts and Pastebin Code? Saudi Actors By Levi Gundert Vice President of Intelligence and Strategy Summary › U.S. law enforcement recently released a flash bulletin about nation-state adversaries attacking public/private entities using specific TTPs (spearphishing, PowerShell scripts, base64 encoding, etc.). › A hunt for similar TTPs in Recorded Future produces a wealth of recent intelligence, specifically around PowerShell use and base64 string encoding found in PowerShell scripts and code hosted on Pastebin. › Pastebin is routinely used to stage code containing encoded strings that convert to malware, and mainstream business resources like Amazon’s AWS and Microsoft’s Office 365 are equally likely future destinations for staging malicious strings used in targeted attacks › The Arabic speaking actor operating the njRAT instance connecting to osaam2014.no-ip[.]biz may be the same actor operating the njRAT instance that previously connected to htomshi.zapto[.]org. Recorded Future proprietary intelligence indicates with a high degree of confidence that both actors are located in Saudi Arabia. › Hunting in Farsight Security’s passive DNS data produces useful DNS TXT record examples, specifically base64 encoded text records, which may be used in PowerShell Empire scripts. › Enterprise employees fetch favicon.ico files (web browser address bar tab icons) from mainstream websites thousands to millions of times daily making detection of rogue .ico files particularly tricky. › Since 2014 there have been over 550 PowerShell command references in code repositories, over 2,800 references in paste sites, and over 3,000 social media references collected and analyzed by Recorded Future.
