Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced the U.S. is revoking the visas of Brazilian, African and Caribbean officials over their connection to a Cuban program to send doctors overseas to provide healthcare in the Global South.
Rubio, the son of Cuban immigrants, has long decried the Cuba's medical missions as "forced labor." The program was established after the Cuban Revolution.

Microsoft openly admitting they have not(!) had MFA, network segmentation, least privilege, software lifecycle, jump-servers, asset- and software-inventory etc for Azure PROD for years and they are not there yet.
This whole report is just so scary. At the same time, good that they are finally working on it and making it transparent.
