If the guy exposing the exploits is the be believed, they notified MS (or attempted to) and were ignored and then actively rebuffed. Then MS deleted the account (and the proof that this person actually reported these vulnerabilities/bugs).
Even if this person is lying I’m more likely to believe MS is the bad guy here. It seems like bullying to me. That and an attempt to mask the problems at the company because they have been getting a lot of bad press and are having trouble with the entirety of windows 11 which they forced on people and they keep breaking. The adoption rate of windows 11 being so bad also lends credence to what this person is claiming.
It sounds like the guy treats these issues in a very standard way by notifying the company beforehand with a note that the findings will be made publicly at a certain date. Microsoft ignores it and it inevitably gets published. That‘s standard procedure. Microsoft throwing a tantrum is the only extra thing here although „shooting the messenger“ seems to become more common these days with these findings.
