Microsoft has just shored up a vulnerability in their user login, that would have allowed attackers to gain access to their online accounts. The vulnerability would have allowed the attackers to quietly steal account tokens. Researchers from Israel based "CyberArk" discovered an accidental loophole that would have allowed an attacker to siphon off the tokens. This all very well could have been done without ever alerting the user.
Thankfully, this flaw was reported back in October, and was fixed three weeks later.

That was the news folks, have a good day, and stay safe out there.
