📅 Jul 22, 2025, 08:49 EDT | 🔗 Source: MT Newswires

🧠 Summary

Microsoft-backed OpenAI and SoftBank are at odds over terms for their $500 billion AI project, slowing initial plans and signaling reduced collaboration, with OpenAI pursuing data center deals independently.

💡 Why this signal?

  • Microsoft's inability to properly patch the critical SharePoint vulnerability exposes it to ongoing cyberattacks, risking reputation and operational security.
  • The links of the attacks to a China-nexus actor increase geopolitical and regulatory scrutiny on Microsoft.
  • The widespread scale of affected servers including major organizations suggests potential operational disruptions and increased cybersecurity spending for Microsoft.
