So what is the kerfuffle all about? The problem Some of the authorities (squinted look in the general direction of state of Indiana) engaged into what I can only classify as a borderline bullying behaviour towards the security company. Not all of the affected parties have welcomed the news. While I disagree with some of their assessments, credit is where credit’s due: UpGuard’s behaviour throughout the incident, the analysis, and the report are nothing but professional. I encourage you to ignore all clickbait headings like “Microsoft Spills 38 Million Sensitive Data Records” and go straight for the original analysis and report by UpGuard By Design: How Default Permissions on Microsoft Power Apps Exposed Millions. That’s what the reports about Power Apps portals leaking the data looked like this morning. You wake up invigorated and ready for action only to see the news headlines “Rykita injures more than a thousand customers”, “Calls for Rykita to blunt their tools”, “Rykita customers bleed profusely”, “Users of Rykita tools risk infection if injured”, and “Loyal customer uses Rykita nail gun to shoot themselves in a foot”. You are a CEO of Rykita, a worldwide manufacturer of power tools used by millions.
