"Anyone know a human with a brain that still works at Microsoft and can help?"

Gone, baby, gone.

Same happened to Veracrypt.

I did a doubletake because I read the article like 12 hours ago about VeraCrypt's dev getting locked out of their MS account, then could have sworn it wasn't Wireguard that was affected.

Another reason to never use anything bigtech.

Looking at the licensing of WireGuard VPN holds the answer to the way MicroSlop prioritized this:

The kernel components are released under the GPLv2, as is the Linux kernel itself. Other projects are licensed under MIT, BSD, Apache 2.0, or GPL, depending on context.

Windows is making a move to destroy my favorite type of tunnel. The only problem with that Macroslop is that I don't use them on windows machines at all. FreeBSD and Linux sure but the only thing a windows machine is good for is to be a shitty server or a workstation for those who wont learn something new.

Donenfeld, the WireGuard developer, told TechCrunch in an email: “If there were a critical vulnerability to fix right now — there isn’t! I just mean hypothetically — then users would be totally exposed.”

Well, the Windows users would. I assume that they'd still release builds for the other platforms.

Can't legislate VPNs out? Make it difficult to use them/install them and ultimately allow imposters to spring up.

Totally responsible environment the US is cooking up lately.

Corporate infrastructure will never free you. It will turn on you.

Then stop pushing updates to Windows?

Nire reason to move to codeberg then. Probably should've done it sooner.

Microsoft .. the perfect incentive to migrate to another operating system.

Microshit has apparently done that with a few privacy-related software developers lately. Interesting.

If you use Windows, you don't own your computer, Microsoft does.
If you want to take back ownership of your computer, Linux is the best option.

WireGuard, the major software project and VPN that underpins popular security software including Mullvad and others, has found itself locked out of a key part of its Microsoft developer’s account and unable to ship software updates to Windows users.

Just Windows users. They're used to disappointment.

Seems to become somewhat of a habit of his: https://www.reddit.com/r/WireGuard/comments/17gsm3r/wireguard_is_pulled_off_fdroid_whats_going_on/

Welcome to Microsoft's co-pilot dream.

The narrative suggesting that security can be had on windows in this article is a joke.

There's really no point.

Blocked WireGuard AND VeraCrypt in the same week? WTF is going on at MS?

Wireguard and veracrypt. Well, now we have to look very hard at future patches to both.

Maybe some fund raising for making software secure enough to piss off Microslop
