The VOCC is the monthly service for IT managers, vendor managers, IT buyers and license/contract managers who want to stay up to date on the licensing of software and cloud services and regularly exchange ideas with like-minded people.
The first Software Asset + Cloud Services Conference (SACS) took place on September 21 and 22, 2022 in Frankfurt/Main.

In addition to the severity of the vulnerability, the problem is that malicious actors, presumably a state-sponsored organization, identified and exploited it before Microsoft did.
