    From the OP

    The China-backed intruders, referred to as Storm-0558, broke into Microsoft’s network and stole a digital skeleton key that allowed the hackers unfettered access to U.S. government emails stored in Microsoft’s cloud. According to a government-issued postmortem of the cyberattack, the State Department identified the intrusions because it paid for a higher-tier Microsoft license that granted access to security logs for its cloud products, which many other hacked U.S. government agencies did not have.

    Following the China-backed hacks, Microsoft said it would start providing logs to its lower-paid cloud accounts from September 2023.

    Oh great! Until this incident, security is considered a “premium feature”. I really want off this “up sell to premium” ride.

      You know Microsoft is giving you “free” logs, but it’ll be a 12 hour retention or someshit unless you pay more.

      Ain’t no free in cloud.

    That’s why you don’t use the cloud products, people.
