Microsoft Threatens Security Researcher; Phishing Attack on Australian Parliamentarians; EU Promotes Chip Startups (heise.de)

• Microsoft threatens lawsuit over disclosure of six Windows zero-days without prior coordination.
• Australian parliamentarians compromised via WhatsApp phishing by suspected state actors.
• EU proposes Chips Act 2.0 with procurement preference for European-made processors.

"Microsoft is threatening legal action against a security researcher who publicly disclosed six zero-day vulnerabilities in Windows without prior notification. Australian parliamentarians fell victim to a WhatsApp phishing campaign similar to Germany's Signal affair. The European Commission is preparing a second Chips Act encouraging authorities to buy processors from European startups to boost semiconductor production."
