Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Austria's data protection authority ruled that Microsoft illegally placed tracking cookies on a pupil's device through Microsoft 365 Education, using them to analyse behaviour, collect browser data, and support advertising. The authority ordered Microsoft to stop tracking the child within four weeks and rejected Microsoft's attempt to shift responsibility to its Irish subsidiary.
