I am in an internal meeting in #Microsoft with the #Word team, and someone said:

"Microsoft recently celebrated 50 years and Word celebrated 40 years. Hard to imagine Microsoft without Word "

I can. I can imagine a world with #wordperfect, and #OpenOffice and #LibreOffice and #StarOffice and so on ... it was a good world with open standards.
I was not brave enough to say it lol. Many people here.

And don't take me wrong, I like #Microsoft, I work here, there are many things good and good people.

But there was also a dark past, and still sometimes dubious decisions and investment.

Weaponized Words: Uyghur Language Software Hijacked to Deliver Malware

This analysis details a spearphishing campaign targeting senior members of the World Uyghur Congress (WUC) in March 2025. The attackers used a trojanized version of a legitimate Uyghur language text editor to deliver Windows-based malware for remote surveillance. While not technically advanced, the malware delivery was well-customized to reach the Uyghur community. This incident is part of a broader pattern of digital transnational repression against Uyghur diaspora by actors likely aligned with the Chinese government. The malware profiled systems, sent information to remote servers, and could load additional malicious plugins. The campaign demonstrates the ongoing digital threats facing exiled Uyghur communities and the exploitation of software meant to support marginalized cultures.
