The Kiwi's above make good points regarding Azure. To add my piece:
Granted every org operates differently, but the part that doesn't make sense to me is how a malicious actor could log into an account almost immediately after being created, and not get flagged as a "Risky User" and immediately disabled. I also find it hard to believe they wouldn't have some sort of policy to immediately reset password and force MFA after logging in for the first time, which would make it obvious the account was compromised. The things this whistle blower highlights could easily be explained by a combination of legitimate confidential tasks, and malicious actors probing domains. All standard occurrences in large organisations and government entities.
You can claim the government is full of lazy retards, but the glaring holes in cybersecurity would have been exploited by every malicious actor on the planet if it were really this bad. There's no way something like that would go unnoticed - no service provider would have the US government as a client and ignore these things.
