Microsoft has (very quietly) announced that it will be changing the way account sign-ins work in February – and the new system could pose a significant security risk for some users.

If you use a public computer, remember that from next month, Microsoft will not automatically log you out when you stop work. The post Heads Up: Microsoft Is Leaving You Logged on Starting In February appeared first on Tech.

Microsoft's LinkedIn has been sued by Premium customers who said the business-focused social media platform disclosed their private messages to third parties without permission to train generative artificial intelligence models.

The suit alleges LinkedIn quietly introduced a privacy setting that let users enable or disable the sharing of their personal data.

The new agreement “includes changes to the exclusivity on new capacity, moving to a model where Microsoft has a right of first refusal (ROFR),” Microsoft says. “To further support OpenAI, Microsoft has approved OpenAI’s ability to build additional capacity, primarily for research and training of models.”

The software giant was previously the exclusive cloud provider for OpenAI and now retains right of first refusal.
