A Little-Known Microsoft Program Could Expose the Defense Department to Chinese Hackers

TLDR: They are talking about Chinese coders hired by MS have access to DoD related code, not a computer program.
Thanks. Was going to say that, too.
I will hand it to the writer: good use of clickbait. It got me and it was technically accurate.
Here I thought it was going to be about telnet or something
Fun Fact: I once worked with a team that were mapping Iran's internet infrastructure... for reasons. One of the ways we were able to zero in on the more important systems was because we kept finding these weird Cisco routers that had Telnet exposed to the open internet. All of which just so happened to share neighboring IPs (or close enough) with some pretty serious government systems. Fun times.
I'm not a CISCO tech, so I don't know the specifics beyond that. But I do remember that the Telnet connection would permanently ban any IP that failed even a single password attempt. So they had that going for them, I guess lol
Thank you for being on the front lines of the click bait war.
