Microsoft has announced two very bad news, one concerning GitHub, the other its Microsoft Lens tool, and Google has undergone a cyber attack just after those of Bouygues Telecom and Air France-KLM. Here is the info of the news of the week.
Thomas Dohmke, CEO of Github, announces his departure from the company, but also that it will be fully integrated into the Coreai division of Microsoft. Github loses its independence despite the promise of the tech giant not to touch it. The collaborative development platform must now align with the firm’s objectives, while the latter has been following a deleterious slope for a few years.
Very practical if there is nothing else on hand to scan and digitize a document that his smartphone, Microsoft Lens – PDF Scanner has built a solid reputation in recent years. But all good things have an end. The firm has announced to withdraw the blinds on September 15 and the support will end on November 15. Microsoft Lens already has its replacement: Copilot, Microsoft’s AI, always more essential.
After the cyber attacks that touched Bouygues Telecom and Air France-KLM, it is Google’s Ads branch to see its data be siphoned. 2.55 million data has been stolen, essentially professional because this information is used by Google sales teams. Hackers demand a ransom of 2 million euros, payable in bitcoins.
