I would have throught that German IT Security teams would be more competent than this

I was not expecting this:

Germany's infosec office (BSI) is sounding the alarm after finding that 92 percent of the nation's Exchange boxes are still running out-of-support software, a fortnight after Microsoft axed versions 2016 and 2019.

While the end of Windows 10 updates occupied most of the headlines, Microsoft's support for Exchange and a bunch of other 2016 and 2019-branded products ended on October 14, as scheduled a year earlier.

Alternate title: 90% of German firms fail their SOC 2 audit.  Look, this isn't landing a man on the moon, and you had a whole year.  You just couldn't be bothered.

Was ist los?

    Germany is part of Fourteen Eyes.
    What else would you expect?

    All the IT Security staff are busy torturing us about passwords instead of securing corporate and government infrastructure.
