If you were the hacker, how might you exploit the vulnerabilities and compromise Microsoft's database? Discuss two approaches you might take. For each approach, describe the Microsoft vulnerabilities that you would seek to exploit and why your hacking method therefore has a good chance of succeeding.

In your response, discuss three steps that you as CISO would have taken, and whether each step should still be implemented post-breach.
