"Microsoft did not send me any emails or prior warnings. I have received no explanation for the termination and their message indicates that no appeal is possible. I have tried to contact Microsoft through various channels but I have only received automated replies and bots. I was unable to reach a human."
"I cannot sign the VeraCrypt driver or the VeraCrypt bootloader through the hardware dashboard. This also prevents me from signing drivers and components for my customers on different projects, so this situation impacts my work beyond VeraCrypt."
"No warning at all, no notification. One day, I sign in to publish an update, and yikes, account suspended. As somebody on Hacker News noted, if someone was a bad actor, right now would be a pretty good time to start exploiting zero days in WireGuard."
Microsoft has acknowledged the need to enhance its communication with developers following the unexpected lockout of Mounir Idrassi and Jason Donenfeld from their accounts. Both developers reported being locked out without prior warning or explanation, which hindered their ability to sign updates for their projects, VeraCrypt and WireGuard. Idrassi expressed frustration over the lack of human contact and automated responses from Microsoft. Donenfeld raised concerns about potential cybersecurity risks due to his inability to address vulnerabilities in WireGuard.
