Default Microsoft faces jail over user alerts

Software giant Microsoft said that it will notify people if it thinks that accounts have been targeted or compromised by spooks working for nation states.

That could mean its executives could find themselves in clink in the UK, because a bill passing through parliament here specifically criminalises people that work for tech companies doing that, as we reported here yesterday.
