Updated Google has taken a victory lap in the wake of high-profile breaches of Microsoft's systems, saying businesses should ditch Exchange and OneDrive for Gmail and Google Drive.

Microsoft hates Chrome 😂

Google's argument is laid out in a white paper [PDF] released today titled "A Safer Alternative," which takes 14 pages to outline everything wrong with Microsoft's approach to security, according to the search giant.

It relies largely on the findings of the US government's Cyber Safety Review Board (CSRB), which last month detailed Microsoft's handling of the June 2023 attack on Exchange Online.

The CSRB was unimpressed, criticizing the Windows titan's lack of knowledge about how and when China's Storm-0558 attackers were able to obtain a security key that allowed the crew to break into Redmond's Exchange Online-hosted email service and rifle through people's inboxes, or why a key created in 2016 would still be valid seven years later.
