The data exposed included 38 terabytes of files, including the personal backups of two Microsoft employees containing passwords, secret keys, and over 30,000 internal Microsoft Teams messages.

The data had been accessible since 2020 due to the misconfiguration. Wiz notified Microsoft of the issue on June 22, and the company revoked the SAS token two days later.
