Check Point researchers have identified four vulnerabilities affecting Microsoft Office products, including Excel and Office…
It all started with a recent report by an information security expert known as TheAnalyst, in which the abuse of Microsoft services was given a separate place. He wrote that, for example, the BazarLoader malware operators place their malware in Microsoft OneDrive and wondered: “Is Microsoft in any way responsible for this if they INTENTIONALLY place hundreds of files for more than three days leading to this [BazarLoader infection ]? “.

It usually takes more than 29 days to remove Microsoft malware.
Google also suffers from malware and removes it slowly, on average in 14 days, but it’s still twice as fast as Microsoft.
Microsoft representatives have already paid attention to the criticism of specialists and made the following comment regarding the current situation:
