New by me - Microsoft Vibing. A very strange fake open source project published by Microsoft employees, which gathers screenshots and voice recordings of users with unique machine identifiers attached. Not sure how this one has happened. doublepulsar.com/microsoft-vi...

doublepulsar.comMicrosoft Vibing — capturing screenshots and voice samples without governanceA look inside Microsoft Vibing, a fake open source project published by Microsoft that captures audio and screenshots of customers.

The package family name for Vibing.exe is YaoyaoChang.Vibing_ssp53fcyfr9ha - the same MSFT employee who digitally signed it, and posted GitHub messages calling it a “good product” he apparently knew nothing about on the MS VibeVoice GitHub repo. 😬😅

Also worth noting - Yaoyao Chang made the changes to the Vibing-Team repo, which is the first time Microsoft has officially been linked to Vibing (outside of my blog). It’s a very strange situation where MS were covertly operating an AI service, while pretending it was an open source project.

It’s certainly a screw up from a corporate point of view, there’s no way MS should be developing stuff like this. Collecting the machine GUID is crazy too.
