Microsoft President Brad Smith is set to testify before the House Homeland Security Committee, accepting responsibility for the cybersecurity issues highlighted in a recent US government-backed report. In his prepared testimony, Smith expresses Microsoft's commitment to improving its cybersecurity practices and apologizes to those impacted by the breaches.
The report, issued by the US Cyber Safety Review Board, identified a series of errors that allowed Chinese hackers to infiltrate Microsoft's network and access email accounts of senior US officials, including the secretary of commerce. This breach has raised concerns about the impact of cybersecurity shortfalls on homeland security.
