Microsoft has initiated legal action against a group, alleging that they knowingly developed and deployed tools to circumvent the security protocols of its cloud-based AI offerings. The lawsuit, filed in December with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, targets 10 anonymous defendants suspected of leveraging stolen customer credentials and tailored software to unlawfully access the Azure OpenAI service, a fully managed solution by Microsoft that leverages technology from OpenAI, the creators of ChatGPT.
