Microsoft accidentally wiped some nonprofit customers' M365 data before their retention period expired – and now says it cannot tell them what disappeared, or even whether they lost anything. The cockup followed Microsoft's retirement of its Microsoft 365 Business Premium grant, which gave eligible nonprofits ten free licenses for the productivity suite. Microsoft announced in May 2025 that the grant would not renew after July 1 that year. It offered eligible nonprofits up to 300 free Microsoft 365 Business Basic licenses, alongside discounted pricing for plans including Business Premium. The company urged customers to move users onto another nonprofit plan before cancellation to avoid disruption or data loss. Organizations could also export anything they did not intend to retain in Microsoft 365. The problem arose after the subscriptions were deactivated. In an email to one affected customer seen by The Register, Microsoft admitted that, "due to an error," it had deleted remaining data before the retention and export window closed. Attempts to recover it had failed. "We have now investigated the recovery options, but unfortunately, the data cannot be recovered," Microsoft said. Redmond cannot determine what disappeared either. The company said it was "currently unable to provide a list showing which data may have been deleted or whether any data was deleted at all." It could say only that the problem involved expired Business Premium subscriptions. Microsoft confirmed the premature deletion to The Register. "After the applicable notice periods concluded and subscriptions were terminated, an error resulted in remaining data, if any, being deleted before the retention period had ended," a spokesperson said. "The impacted content would have been data associated with a customer's expired M365 Business Premium subscription." Microsoft did not say how many nonprofits were affected, how prematurely the deletion occurred, or what caused the error. The company said it regretted the impact and was offering affected nonprofits a free "concierge service," a meeting with a Microsoft specialist to help set up a new Microsoft 365 environment and answer questions. Useful if you need help building a shiny new environment. Less useful if what you really wanted was the data Microsoft deleted from the old one. ®

A former US Army soldier has been sentenced to 70 months in prison for hacking telecoms companies, stealing sensitive records, and trying to extort more than $1 million from his victims. Cameron John Wagenius, 22, carried out the campaign while serving on active duty. He pleaded guilty in March 2025 to unlawfully transferring confidential phone records, then admitted conspiracy to commit wire fraud, computer-related extortion, and aggravated identity theft in a separate case that July. Court documents say Wagenius conspired with three others to obtain credentials for the protected networks of at least ten organizations between April 2023 and December 2024. During that period, he was stationed in South Korea and Texas. The Justice Department has not publicly identified the victims, describing them as US and overseas telecommunications companies and other organizations. Wagenius has also been linked to the 2024 Snowflake extortion campaign, which affected AT&T, Verizon, and numerous other companies, as The Register previously reported. After two suspects were arrested in connection with the Snowflake attacks, an account controlled by Wagenius claimed to possess AT&T call records belonging to Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. Using online aliases including "kiberphant0m," Wagenius and his co-conspirators obtained login credentials with a hacking tool he helped develop called SSH Brute, among other methods. They exchanged stolen credentials in Telegram group chats and discussed using them to gain unauthorized access to other parts of victims' networks. Court documents say the group traded hundreds of credentials and stole hundreds of thousands of customer records from multiple companies. Wagenius and his accomplices advertised stolen data through XSS, BreachForums, X, and Telegram. Some posts offered the information for sale, while others threatened to publish it unless victims paid. The Justice Department said the conspirators attempted to extort at least $1 million in total, successfully sold some stolen data, and used other records to commit fraud, including SIM swapping. US District Judge Lauren King told Wagenius at sentencing: "Your actions show a shocking disregard for the safety and security of the United States... You took these actions motivated by greed and a desire for notoriety." Wagenius was also ordered to pay $294,978 in restitution. ®

De Douane heeft zondagavond 25 kilo cocaïne onderschept in de Rotterdamse haven. De drugs zijn hoogstwaarschijnlijk gevonden tijdens een standaardcontrole. Het gaat, volgens het Openbaar Ministerie, over een lading uit Zuid-Amerika.

The US says it is unable to support a major global text on pandemic prevention and preparedness put forward at UN general assembly

The United States government’s decision to block a major global declaration on pandemic preparedness “severely weakens” the effort, and signals intent to disrupt international cooperation, says Prof Lawrence Gostin, a leading expert on global health law from Georgetown University.

The United Nations general assembly had been due to adopt a political declaration on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response on 25 September after a high-level meeting on the subject.

John Healey has pledged to use next month’s budget to inject hope into Britain’s economy while sticking to the government’s fiscal rules, arguing there is “nothing progressive” about losing control of public finances.

In his first speech as chancellor to Labour conference, Healey warned that next month’s highly anticipated tax-and-spending event would need to take into account a challenging global backdrop.

AMSTERDAM (ANP) - De verdachte van het schietincident op de NDSM-kade in Amsterdam, waarbij een man om het leven kwam, blijft twee weken langer vastzitten. Dat heeft de rechter-commissaris maandag besloten. De man zit nog in beperkingen en mag alleen contact hebben met zijn advocaat. Over zijn identiteit is nog niets bekendgemaakt.

De man wordt ervan verdacht dat hij vrijdagmiddag een 61-jarige man op een vol terras heeft neergeschoten. Het slachtoffer stierf aan zijn verwondingen.

Voorafgaand aan het incident ontstond een woordenwisseling. Veel mensen hebben de schietpartij zien gebeuren.

METZ (ANP/AFP/DPA) - De paus heeft tijdens zijn bezoek aan het Franse Metz gewaarschuwd dat relaties tussen landen steeds onbeschaafder worden. Hij zei in het bijzijn van president Emmanuel Macron dat Europa daar het goede voorbeeld kan geven.

"De waarde van het houden van je woord wordt terzijde geschoven. In plaats daarvan scheppen mensen op over leugens en bedrog", verklaarde Leo, die daarbij geen landen bij naam noemde. Europa kan helpen "deze neerwaartse spiraal te doorbreken", stelde hij.

Metz is de laatste bestemming van zijn meerdaagse bezoek aan Frankrijk. Het is de eerste keer in bijna twee decennia dat een paus het land bezoekt en de komst van Leo kan rekenen op grote belangstelling. In Metz, waar zo'n 120.000 mensen wonen, waren hotels volgeboekt.

De eerste Amerikaanse paus zou voor die bestemming hebben gekozen omdat Metz wordt gezien als de stad van Robert Schuman. Die Franse politicus legde na de Tweede Wereldoorlog mede de basis voor de oprichting van de Europese Unie.

My mirrorless camera (Lumix S5II) is known for producing beautiful colors when shooting nature, especially blues—or at least that’s what my brother recommended it for. I originally bought it to take product photos for my handmade pieces.

Since I’d bought it anyway, I thought I might as well take it with me on my walks. Once I started taking photos, though, I found it much more fun than I expected.

I mostly photograph rundown streets and buildings, and I tend to give the colors a slightly retro feel in post-processing.

Maybe it’s time to let the Lumix show what it can really do…? No tweaks in color!
(I still don't know much about cameras/lenses tho)

Lieve stad is: lief. Indringers, bedreiging met een steekwapen en kapotte sloten. Bewoners van een studentencomplex aan de Carolina MacGillavrylaan in Amsterdam-Oost voelen zich onveilig. Reparaties van sloten door verhuurder DUWO laten op zich wachten. Op 17 september vond er een gewapende woningoverval plaats. Woordvoerder van de pelisie bevestigt aan het Parool dat er eind augustus vier meldingen over ongewenste personen zijn geweest. Politie zegt: DUWO verantwoordelijk. DUWO zegt: pelisie verantwoordelijk. Wij vragen ons af: wie zijn deze terugkerende, mysterieuze INDRINGERS?
