From the article:

Microsoft locked down a server last month that exposed Microsoft employee passwords, keys and credentials to the open Internet, as the company faces growing pressure to strengthen the security of its software. Microsoft was notified of the vulnerability on February 6th and the block on March 5th. It is unclear whether anyone accessed the exposed server during this period.
