Hot Take:

Microsoft, the tech giant, is pulling a "Santa Claus" this season, but instead of delivering gifts, it's delivering justice. They're on a mission to take down "the number one seller" of fraudulent accounts, a group they've been eyeing called Storm-1152. Turns out Storm-1152 has been naughty, not nice, creating as many as 750 million fraudulent Microsoft accounts and raking in millions of dollars. So, Microsoft's coming to town, and they're checking their list twice, preparing to seize Storm-1152's infrastructure. Let's just hope they don't find your username on their stocking full of coal.
