⚠️ Key Developments:

• Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth emphasized that “foreign engineers… should NEVER be allowed to maintain or access DoD systems” .
• Senator Tom Cotton (R‑AR), chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, is pressing the Pentagon for a full review of contractor use of Chinese personnel and the effectiveness of oversight measures .

🧰 Why It Matters:
• This revelation exposes a major security vulnerability in how military cloud services are maintained.
• Microsoft’s escort system—intended to shield against threats—may not have been sufficient to block complex cyber intrusions.
• The move marks a rare admission of risk by a major tech provider and may prompt stricter cloud security reforms for federal systems.
