Microsoft has long downplayed its role in the 2020 "SolarWinds" attack -- one of the largest cyberattacks in US history -- but a new ProPublica investigation reveals that the tech giant ignored warnings that could have stemmed the damage... 🧵 Photo of a model of the Microsoft campus at the company’s headquarters in Redmond, Washington. The buildings are all lit from within by bright white lights, but in the center is a plaza comprised of 4 squares lit up in the colors of Microsoft's green, yellow, blue, red logo. (Photo by Greg Kahn, special to ProPublica)
2/ In 2016, while researching an attack on a major tech company, Microsoft engineer Andrew Harris said he discovered a flaw that left millions of users — including federal employees — exposed to hackers.
propublica.org/article/micros…
3/ The weakness Harris discovered was in MS' Active Directory Federation Services, which allowed users to sign on a single time for nearly everything they needed. The problem was with how the app used a computer language known as SAML to authenticate users as they logged in.

Illustration of a robber in a knit cap, looking through binoculars. Reflected in the lenses are a row of city apartment buildings.  Text reads: "To understand how a SAML attack would unfold, let's imagine a robber who wants to gain access to all of the apartment buildings owned by a landlord."
Illustration of the robber, dressed in black clothing, climbing through an open window.  Text reads: "The robber finds an open window in a single apartment and climbs in, similar to how a hacker could use a phishing email to log on to a single user's account."
Illustration of the robber walking through a doorway into a room with a safe on the floor. On the wall near the doorway is a bulletin board. A key on a large ring is hanging there.  Text reads: "Once inside, the robber roams the halls looking for the landlord’s office, where keys to all the building’s units are kept. Likewise, a hacker moves through an organization’s on-premises servers. Their first target is Microsoft’s equivalent of the landlord’s office, a directory that stores information such as usernames and passwords."

"Friends of the Court," ProPublica's investigation into Supreme Court justices' beneficial relationships with billionaire donors, has been awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service!

Here are the highlights from the reporting 🧵👇 Image
2/ The series began with this story by @JustinElliott @js_kaplan & @Amierjeski that revealed how SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas had, for 20+ years, been treated to undisclosed luxury vacations by real estate titan and GOP megadonor Harlan Crow.

3/ Then they revealed that Crow had purchased multiple parcels of real estate from Thomas, including the house where the justice's mother still resides.

Like the free travel, this deal had not been disclosed by Thomas.

For more than a decade, the all-white judges of a Louisiana appellate court ignored thousands of petitions filed by prisoners, most of them Black, who claimed they had been wrongly convicted.

Efforts to expose the injustice went unheard. (THREAD)

2/ In Louisiana, all such 'pro se' (that’s Latin for "for oneself") petitions must be reviewed by 3-judge panels.

“It got somewhat cumbersome to have to select 3-judge panels for every writ, because you’d get hundreds of them,” said a longtime law clerk to Judge Edward Dufresne.
3/ So, at a 1994 meeting of the judges of the 5th Circuit Court of Appeal in Jefferson Parish, Dufresne proposed a plan to streamline the process: A 3-judge panel would no longer rule on pro se applications.

Instead, Dufresne would oversee them himself.

How does a legislature block and slow roll lawsuits that accuse it of drawing discriminatory electoral maps?

Simple: By claiming privilege.

Map showing Texas's current Senate District 10 overlaid on map of previous district outline, showing how the district was transformed dramatically after 2021 redistricting.  The district previously represented racially diverse communities near Fort Worth, but it now encompasses portions of sprawling rural counties with mostly white constituents.
2/ GOP lawmakers across the US have been shielding their redistricting work from scrutiny by claiming 2 types of privilege: attorney-client privilege & legislative privilege, which allows members of state legislatures to deliberate in private.
propub.li/3Q8FnRw
3/ Legislative privilege was originally intended to protect lawmakers from criminal or civil claims for things they said on the floor, but has come to encompass their work-related communications.

Some states have extended this privilege to specifically cover redistricting...

NEW: A ProPublica investigation has found that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas secretly participated in Koch network donor events – a breach of judicial norms that one federal judge said “takes my breath away.” 🧵👇
2/ In 2018, Thomas flew to Palm Springs on a private jet and attended a dinner for the network’s donors.

The justice was brought in, former network staffers said, in the hopes that such access would encourage donors to continue giving.
3/ That dinner happened during the network’s marquee fundraising event, typically open to donors who give at least $100,000 a year.
