They digitally handcuffed computers bound to accounts, then digitally handcuffed content that must be "purchased" and whose usage is managed through such accounts, and now a vulnerability appeared that allows attackers to remotely take over such accounts, change password, enable bitlocker (yes, remotely) and then pull a ransom scheme.

The bad PR move is that when victims made Microshit employees aware of this issue instead of handing over the account back to legitimate users they wiped everything, the account and all "use licenses" it had, "cloud" storage and any sort of content that these users paid for, mostly soygames, specially for those that used the same account for Xbox (which is mandatory as you can't use such device without account).
