By Raphael SatterWASHINGTON, July 30 (Reuters) - Alphabet-owned cybersecurity company Wiz said on Thursday it had found a sweeping flaw that could have compromised Microsoft and thousands of its cloud customers.
"When you build in the cloud, and when it's on Microsoft, it's usually in CosmosDB," said Ami Luttwak, Wiz chief technology officer.
Last year, researcher Dirk-jan Mollema discovered a flaw, also since patched, that could have allowed the mass hijacking of Microsoft cloud users' accounts.
Outside researchers said the flaw discovered by Wiz was serious.
And had a hacker found the one in CosmosDB before Wiz had, "they most definitely could have caused some pretty serious damage."
