Microsoft’s MACE Mayhem: When Security Features Go Rogue!
Windows administrators are in a lockout frenzy thanks to Microsoft’s new MACE app. The “leaked credentials” detection tool is flagging accounts with unique passwords, causing mass chaos. Microsoft Entra ID’s rollout may need a recalibration before admins start their own support groups!
Hot Take:
Oh, Microsoft! When you said you were rolling out a new feature, we didn’t expect it to be a mass “lockout party” for Windows admins worldwide. Who knew securing our identities meant locking us out of them?
Key Points:
- Microsoft Entra ID’s new MACE app causes widespread account lockouts due to false positives.
- Admins report numerous alerts indicating leaked credentials, despite secure unique passwords.
- The issue appears to stem from a new feature rollout, causing unnecessary panic.
- Microsoft has not publicly confirmed the cause but indicated it was a rollout issue.
- MACE Credential Revocation app aims to detect leaked credentials and lock compromised accounts.
