Switzerland mandates all software developed for the government be open sourced

Nothing "recent" about Microsoft hacks, it's been happening for decades, the only difference is that the victim was you, now for a change, we have been made aware that Microsoft itself was hacked, but only because it impacted people outside Microsoft.

Microsoft was forced to reveal that it was hacked back in November 2023, and still hasn't managed to prove that their systems are not still compromised today in July 2024. Just so we're clear, their internal network was breached.

We also don't know if it started in November, or if that's just a convenient date because nobody externally has yet discovered evidence to show any different.

If the Lemmy repository was hacked and malicious code was added, people here would lose their shit. That's what hit Microsoft and the fact that it's only talked about in ICT professional circles is a good indication of just how bad this really is.

So, yeah, open source, open data, open governance, all of it.
