Microsoft leaks 6.5TB in Bing search data via unsecured Elastic server. *Insert 'Wow... that much?' joke here*

"The data was, apparently, not encrypted"

That is just about as damning a sentence as one can write in this kind of case. In what world does a major multinational behemoth create a database of user-identifiable data and not encrypt it ?

There should be a law on that.

That, and the fact that the authentication was removed (why ??) means that I am quite happy to have never used Bing and won't be using it any time soon.

At least not until my aneurysm. After that, no guarantees.
