    I’m not confident they are authoritative on the matter.

    Don’t consider me to be, either, but I have more details in my response to them.

    I read their message as a joke that AD was an easy vector for an adversary

    Yeah… I realized that like an hour later, and couldn’t figure out how to respond appropriately. Then I forgot all about it because ADHD.

    But yeah. I definitely got whooshed here.
    In my defense, I guess I wasn’t expecting to see a joke in the thread, so … well, I didn’t see one.

    Usually those are the ones all those companies and organizations are using who have their files encrypted by malware.

    Correlation != Causation.

    Now, on the other hand, the number of breaches has gone way up recently. Microsoft has pushed AD and Exchange into the cloud recently. And they just had several instances where keys were stolen and passwords were left in the clear for months after they were notified, as well…

    Well we have no solid evidence but it’s certainly within the realm of possibility.
