Data security – week 2

Microsoft Data Breach

Microsoft is one of the most popular companies that everyone uses day to day, but did you know Microsoft had a data breach in July 2021. That Microsoft PowerApps data breach exposed 38 million records containing personal identifiable information PII. The data breach caused 47 major companies across multiple industries including the government and the public health agencies to be impacted and this data breach. The breach exposed personal identifiable information that includes names, COVID-19 contact tracking information, vaccination appointments, Social Security numbers call mom employee IDs and email address. Analysts discovered the open data protocol API for an organisation’s that power apps portable that contain  an anonymously accessible list lists of data.





Microsoft Power Apps is a cloud-hosted suite of services that allows organizations to create business intelligence applications. Power Apps portals allow both internal and external users to securely access data through a public website. Users can store data, create forms for users to enter data, and use APIs to retrieve data from other applications.

The service also allows users to enable OData APIs, which permit organizations to publicly display Power Apps lists. A design mishap left organizations that did not enable certain permissions vulnerable.

If this would happen again the credibility of Microsoft reputation would be at stake. Microsoft is normally a trustworthy company with hundreds of millions of people using their products on a daily basis. for this not to happen again I think the company will need to look at their design and have more beta testing before they launch it to the market. just so they can be sure that their customers day arts are as protected as possible.
