Microsoft Suspends Developer Accounts for WireGuard, VeraCrypt, and Other High-Profile Open Source Projects — 348 Points on HN
Hacker News·high signal
Microsoft automatically suspended developer accounts for WireGuard, VeraCrypt, MemTest86, and Windscribe VPN without prior warning, blocking critical security patches for Windows users. The lockout stemmed from a mandatory account verification deadline that developers say they were never notified about. Microsoft VP Scott Hanselman is personally expediting resolution, but affected developers face a 60-day appeals process with no guaranteed outcome.
